This sounds like the mounting for the reel is mis-aligned or bent in some way Take the car back to the dealer and get them to carefully check that the real is correctly aligned , they might want to compare your car to another new or second hand vehicle I am surprised they didn't cure this first time and would suspect that the old belts they removed were not defective at all. To somebody in the trade the cure is obvious! radar 9000 cse bodyshop fitter
