Seat belts-do not fit

[1LEThumper]

Ok so there is one thing on this car that drives me batty and so far I haven't figured out a solution.

My size doesn't fit these seat belts height wise. No matter how I move the seat, belt in the holder or not it cuts right into the side of my neck. If I have a polo or similar shirt on, it isn't bad as I can put it under the collar of the shirt, but wearing a T-shirt it is annoying to drive with the belt on.

Anyone have a similar issue? Fix??

Does that to me as well, the only solution i've come up with is pull up on my t-shirt's collar so seatbelt rests on it.

But eventually after i turned my head a few times, it will start rubbing on my neck again.

I think the only solution is to get a seatbelt adjuster, don't know how to call it otherwise, but i know they sell those on the interwebs. The only downside is it leaves some slack on the seatbelt, so not very safe during a front end collison.

I've noticed the same thing. My '14 F150 has an adjustable belt, you can raise or lower the attachment point that's over your left shoulder ... wish the 350 had that.

Same thing here.

Same, the loop on the side of the seat helps a tiny bit to keep it from riding up quite so far

What about those seat belt pads they sell at the auto store?

Would still bug the crap out of me since it'd still be touching my neck. Oh well i live with it.

what about these, never used them but for 6$ might be worth a shot?

I tried those, the metal version, and a seatbelt extender. They all suck, the closer slide around and poke me in the gut. The extender is better but not perfect. Can't believe the seatbelt doesn't move up and down.

I posted on this a while back and still have not found a solution. I have tried the seatbelt extender, the padded cover and the plastic adjuster. I think part of the problem is that the belt is twisted and none of my four other cars are this way. I am 6'2" 250 lbs and wear the strap behind my back. It sucks and is my only complaint about the car.

Ditto.
I drove from NYC to Burlington VT this weekend.
No height adj on the feed.
I think a lot of the issues stems from the fact that the
Pre Tensioner is tight. It is really pulling back hard all the time.
Which, being the car that it's in, is prob a good thing.

The only solution I found was to use the strap on the seat. For me that works to hold the seat belt lower and across my chest instead of against my neck. That was what I did in my 2015 GT that had cloth seats. With the GT350 I am more worried that the leather strap will get abraded by the seat belt, so I haven't been using the strap. I'm almost always wearing a shirt with a collar, so it normally doesn't bother me.

Find a better solution. That belt behind your back is really not a good idea.

Don't all Mustangs have this strap?

I always use the strap on the seat and yeah it helps but I'm a little shorter than that...so it still hits. I'm 5'8" and its still right into my neck.
