Default Seatbelt release button

Hi.

Probably a dealer one this but the drivers seatbelt is getting harder and harder to release, I'm having to press the red button several times before it unlocks and lets me get out the car.

I've looked on online and can only find seatbelt catches for the older S40/V40. I wonder if I could swap the drivers and passenger ones over (the passenger one gets used a lot less) looks like they just unbolt but don't know if taking them off would cause complications with airbags/seltbelt warning sensor?

Thanks Mike.

Get a can of graphite spray and spray it in the holder then lock and unlock it a good few times.

Ive had this problem for some time now but no one has come up with an answer. I will give the WD40 a shot and then the other graphite spray if I have no luck.
