Uncomfortable seatbelt position?

[gasort]

I find that the seatbelt digs into my collarbone and neck. I'm not a short guy yet can never seem to sit up high enough for the seatbelt to rest in a comfortable position. Anyone else experiencing this? What have you done to fix it?

I am thinking of 3d printing a little spacer that I can glue into the leather strip attached to the seat that could push the belt down slightly. When I try this with my finger, even just an inch down seems to make a huge difference in the comfort and shouldn't affect the safety since the button would pop off like normal if the seatbelt locked up.

What about one of those shoulder covers that you can buy at an auto parts store just to give comfort?

I’m short and experience the same thing when first getting into the car. But once I start and get rolling I forget about it.
Please sen picture of your “device.”

I find the strap on the seat back causes you to really have to tug at the belt to get it clipped. I just just unsnap works better. I also raise the seat up some to prevent the neck rub. Later RJD

I considered that, but it’s pressing against my neck as well, the padded covers wouldn’t help much with that unfortunately

Welcome, @gasort to the forum. What color you get?

Doesn't help those with the highback performance seats, but someone on daytonaowners made a seatbelt guide for the seats with the adjustable headrests.

Does the seat belt drive anyone else nuts?

I've only had the car for a couple of days now but does anyone else get driven crazy by the positioning of the seat belt? I heard some talk about it on YouTube videos, etc but I noticed the retaining strap on the seats that nobody seemed to be using as well. I figured that seemed like a simple...

Good find! I do have the highback seats though so looks like this won't help. I am thinking of designing something similar though. For now I just got one of those seatbelt covers from Autozone as suggested above and it does enough to make me more comfortable thank goodness.

I typically wear shirts with a collar like a golf shirt, and I tuck it under. But when I wear something like a t-shirt like, it does bother me.

I forgot about the seat belt covers. Think I had them on my 2016 as it use to bother the wife. May have to check to get them for the 26. Later RJD
