Our 2006 had clips for the back belts that got me thinking about a similar solution. After confirming BMW doesn't make anything that would be perfect, bought this on Amazon for $5 - meant to attach to a cell phone to hang on your belt.

Perfect size for what I needed. Tried using the attached double back tape but didn't help much. Instead I put a small amount of crazy glue on the back portion of the clip, inside so that it would adhere to the trim. I pulled the trim up, slid it back there while holding it open so as not to get glue on the front, and let it set. One thing I would do differently next time would be use thicker gel glue, the very thin liquid got a bit messy but did the job. Anyway for $5 figured this was worth a shot, worked very well. If you ever want to remove you'd just have a glue mark inside the interior trim that you'd never see. Just need to scrape a little glue mess I made off the clip, but overall very happy with the result. |
Thank you for this post. That noise was driving me crazy. I didn't know where it was coming from, till now. . Never happened to me on my 2015 vert. But on the 2018 all the time.
I used a piece of Velcro the felt side. Stuck it on the top of the belt buckle and it helps dampen the noise.
