That is the most useless design ever. Stopped using it after the first week. I would assume that an auto upholstery shop would be able to repair for you.

Seatbelt strap won't stay in place

Hi all,
The strap on my driver's seat which holds the seatbelt in place and stops the belt from flapping keeps popping off. It appears the button snap is getting worn and unable to hold the strap in place when tugged on in certain directions.
Any creative ideas on how to repair the snap?
Thanks,
Mike

I use a tiny piece of double-stick tape on top of the male end of the snap. It holds fine for about a month or so, then I just replace it. cheap fixp

No doubt, not the greatest design, but I do find it stops the belt from oscillating with the windows and top down.
Appreciate the tip with the tape!

I used a pair of pliers and slightly deformed the male end of the snap. Go easy. A little at a time until you get the results you want. You can always add but you can't subtract.

Putting a little super glue in there will also work and will not be affected by heat. However, it may not last quite as long.2013 CC Sport Plus, K@N Air Filter, LED Interior Lighting Including Foot Wells, 18" Interlagos Wheels w/ Cooper tires.

Forums are great...I knew I'd find a response to my query
I am a new owner of a CPO EOS and I am quickly finding out some of its little eccentricities.
I am going to try the above "pinching" mod to see if that helps...
Any info on the matts and retrofitting the round snaps for the oval ones?

What do you mean, round vs oval snaps? Are you talking about the floor mats? Originally Posted by pafox

You can buy the ones you need from VW parts dept. Just remove the old snaps and put on the new ones. They just pressure fit together. Easy to do in less than 5 min. Originally Posted by pafox

I got my extra Grommet Kit from Ebay. Much cheaper than the dealer. Originally Posted by pafox
