Seat belt position.

[Jivor]

I read a few threads on the G6 forum about seat belt position trouble shooting.

I have a short torso, not helped by my 5'7" frame. The seat belt is way back, and I have to reach all the way back like a contortionist to retrieve it, then it sits on my neck.

Ebay had some products that may remedy this, here's one:

There is a fabric loop with a magnetic catch on the top side of the seat intended for people with the problem of the belt cutting their neck. I don't use it because at 5'14" it's not an issue for me.

I'll give that a try, thanks!

I had those brackets in my S550 and installed some in my 2024.

For me the problem is that the seatbelt position touches my neck and it gives me nausea while driving. This bracket pushes it out just far enough.

FYI, you can get them cheaper at the wreck yard from 2-door chevy cobalts... Just need to make one hole bigger and drill a new one. 5 minute job.

Sounds like a decent time to bring up the selt belt lap clips.

while not intended to address the ‘reach’ issue (having to be a contortionist) but rather intended to address the position of the shoulder belt near the neck.

If you mean the leather band with the magnetic snap, it doesn't help in my case. Keep the belt too close so it hugs my neck.
I had hoped the seats or belt position had been reworked but they seem identical to S550

More or less along these lines. Tried to find an image without promoting a brand or product.

Yeah that may work well. Never tried those.

Ha...I was stretching every which way yesterday trying to get the dang thing in the holder and then it locked and was choking me and the break wasn't even pressed. I guess I need to do more yoga. The first time my husband got in the car he couldn't find the seat belt.

The strap helps keep the seatbelt within reach when getting in now, but it's still on my neck. Waiting for the head rest guide to come in; I also ordered the clips ($10) just in case.
