Simple Seat Belt Buckle Retainer

Why not just use a seat belt stop button that just pins through the webbing like any other car?

 

It's small and doesn't really harm anything.

 

Is this in reference to the magnet? Because it's not the buckle sliding down the webbing that's the issue. It's the fact that the belt doesn't retract back into the reel reliably. So, when I exit the car, there's frequently a pile of belt still slack next to the seat, meaning the buckle drops to the floor whether or not there's a stop or clip on the belt.

No - E12 & newer models used a 2-piece button that pierced/attached to the webbing of the belt to keep the buckle from dropping to the floor.  I purchased some, but didn't find a good/neat way to melt the tip to fuse the two pieces together.  Soldering iron, perhaps?
