Yes. I have no idea what it's used for, but it is maybe as thin as 2 -3 credit cards. The entire B pillar does not need to be removed. On the 201, its the 2 philips screws at the bottom, pry up on the b pillar from the bottom and you can leave the very top clip in tact (which is also the most difficult to remove). You do not need to remove the belt at all. Once you have access to the thin plastic just use a small razor blade to cut it off. Its not very tough to cut so be careful. My passenger side seat belt is still fine, I considered doing that one too, but I decided against it as I am sometimes notorious for causing collateral damage when fixing one problem. If the passenger side ends up like the driver side, then I'll make the repair. Let me know how it goes for you, should take you only 10 minutes or so.
