typical problem in the 06-07 lexus design. the seat belt hits that area when you release (and not slowly retreat) it. i know on the LSB there was a TSIB to replace the cover to a new design (which was used in later model year), not sure if they had one for the GS too?

it has to do with how you / passenger release (let go) of the seat belt.

as Henry said, there is a LSB for this. I had mine replaced because my button on my jeans caught it and put a little rip in it.

Mine's immaculate for an 06, aside from the passenger side where the old service advisor had it fixed somewhat.

I have a similar problem. Is there any way to prevent that from happening.

Holy crap. I'm glad I picked up an 08 and not an earlier model. My 04 M3 has 125k mi and it has a similar issue but its not nearly as bad.

might be able to buy the part and put it on yourself. The instruction in the TSIB "look" easy enough...
