Simple (and cheap - in every sense) system to eliminate seat belt hook ticking against the pillar. Easy to install and eventually to remove.
In my case it completely solved the problem, and I also installed it on the seat belts of the rear (side) seats

Agree that a cover is required to dampen the noise of it hitting the pillar. Not sure what changed into the EV model but this does seem to be more pronounced than my Macan S and GTS models.

An EV is silent and you can hear more noise than an ICE. Then in the Macan I see a wrong project of that part: maybe in a turbo with alcantara it works better (less noise) but in the 4 the pillar is completely made by plastic.

It’s such a shame that you have to resort to this type of cover to resolve an issue that Porsche should definitely have designed out on a €€€€€/$$$$$$/£££££ +++ car!! 🙁

I'm happy I solved the issue in my car (that now it's dead silent as I love).
Unfortunately I think that Porsche tested all the cars without the side seat belt or with the Burmester at full volume 😂 😂 😂 😂

You're right and that's why I opened a claim through my SA to see if they can fix it (or get something in return to compensate ;)). But since this is my daily drive I had to fix it ASAP.

US Amazon link for something close - link

Agree it's really annoying. Ran the passenger side all the way to the top and it doesn't bang

Still trying to figure out a good solution myself.
