Seat belt rattle help

[howzzzit]

My 72 seat belt buckles rattle like heck when nobody is using them. I of course wear mine and it doesn't rattle while wearing. It doesn't take much of a jolt to make them rattle. I know what's rattling it's the roller. (not really a roller because it doesn't move.) Guess you would call it the tensioner. I opened two buckles and both with floppy tensioner. Anyone know of a fix. These are original lap belts and the push buttons and springs are fine.

Latch them around the ghost riders. Or do they rattle when latched unless you have meat riders?

Rattled while latched laying on the seat. Took the covers off to take a peek. There was a little dried glue under each cover. Since it's caused by the tensioner flopping around I assumed maybe foam was used in that spot. Used 1/2 inch foam tape cut to size. Too thick. Have some 1/8 x 2 inch foam tape. Cut to size. One not enough. Put one on top of the other and it works great. This isn't my truck, but it shows the size of the foam needed. You can see the glue after the foam is deteriorated. Second is a link how to remove the covers without breaking. I used dense foam tape. I don't think the cheap stuff would hold up.
