I've noticed a creaking noise and figured out it's coming from the seatbelt. When I lean forward or right so it pulls on the seatbelt it causes a creaking noise from retractor.

Is there an easy way to fix this or should I take it in to the dealer?

Dealer. There's an explosive charge in there.

Is it coming from the retractor, or the latching mechanism? I have noticed a squeak from my latching mechanism a few times when I first get in the car. Once I get going, between the music from the stereo and the music from the engine I don't hear it.

mine is in the latching mechanism, 2012 991 coupe.

Driver's side latch. Somehow doesn't bother me. Haven't had the car in for service yet, will tell the dealer about it when I do.

It could be the latching mechanism. Thanks for the tips. I'll give them a call tomorrow

My drivers side latch squealed...

but fixed with a quick shot of lithium lube spray.

Also fixed by the dealers best friend - adhesive-backed felt tape. I must have 1+ yards of the stuff in 1" increments in various places in our cab including the back of the front seat belt latch.
