I had this in mine just with the drivers side belt. If you remove the lower B pillar trim that the belt runs into there are a set of ridges in the plastic that cause the squealing. Trim these back with a sharp stanley knife or similar and voila, no more noise.

Bizarre but I stumbled across the solution on Scoobynet (I think).

Rossm is bang on the money- there is a good explanation on Scoobynet of what you need to do here:

I am rubbish at car DIY but I did the fix within half and hour and the noise hasn't happened again in the 3 years since :thumb:
