Uncomfortable seat belt

Loving the 4200, just one thing that would be nice to improve. No matter how I try and adjust the seat belt height or the seat, the belt always feels uncomfortable on my shoulder/neck. Probably something to do with me being too tall at 6ft4. Is this just me, has anyone found a good solution, thinking about trying a pad/seatbelt cover?

My son complains they rub his neck so the pads that Velcro on are the best solution.

I'm 6'2 and it's comfortable for me but it's right on the edge. I can see how another 2" of height could make it tough. I've tried the pad/covers in the past on other cars but the bulk of it actually made the problem worse. The best option would be to fabricate some sort of guide that raises the belt up a bit but I'm not sure that's a safe idea either.

I'm 6'4" but never had a problem. My legs are the long bit though.

I did find (perversely) that putting the anchor at its lowest point was most comfortable. Simply because it was then over and down my back.

Mrs C is only 4'11.75" and used to use those pads

At 6’2”, I find the lower setting easiest. It’s as C’man explains. Reaching for it is “ interesting” however....
I have been wondering if mine has been fitted inside out. It twists to face the buckle. For me, that’s the issue....? :confused:

At 6'7" I have this problem, use the foam seatbelt pads as above but still one of the more annoying things about the car. I also use a clip thing that goes on the seatbelt to stop it from going completely taught. With the two things together its not too bad.

I too am 6’6” and they rub in my neck, forever adjusting on a long run.

This is the arrangement Maserati use for the Spyder AFAIK. I cant see this being an improvement if you are tall however...
