During the drive up here, I considered the problem and how to save a (what?) $4-$10 investment:
Cut off the built-in "rubber band" that interferes with a smooth operation of the
seat belt and use a bit of glue instead to keep the cover on the buckle..
Will have to find a glue that sticks to plastic AND silicone.
I have not tried 3M tape with Adhesive Promoter, but a cursory check came up with these candidates:
SILICONE ADHESIVES:

"Two Permabond products that can be used together to bond silicone:
Permabond Polyolefin Primer and
Permabond 2050."
“Loctite does the job - any adhesive with cyanoacrylate (which Loctite has) will do the job...”
“Loctite 5033. Light (UV LED) cure. Prices vary depending on reseller.

“I just glued a silicone rubber pad back onto a plastic headphone using this product that's available on line: Dow Corning 3145 RTV MIL-A 46146 adhesive/sealant. I cleaned all surfaces up with denatured alcohol, wiped them down. When the stuff cures, it's the most dense, toughest silicone I've seen. Has a really aggressive bond. Durometer 45.6 Shore A. Tensile strength 864 psi. Unprimed adhesion - lap shear to aluminum 1900 psi.”
“Try this:
Sil-Poxy™, Silicone Adhesive”
“Silly Putty bonds instantly and tenaciously to silicone”
“Loctite "Ultra Gel Control" super glue can bond some types of silicone”
“Freesole urethane formula shoe repair.
Works great!” (Glue)
I may have some Loctite and 3M tape in my toolbox. We'll see...
Later!
