Might work then if you just drilled another hole

ok, my idea wont work in this car.

The original posters idea didn't pan out and the holes look too small anyway.

Please someone needs to figure something out for this. The belt literally doesn't touch my shoulder at all if I don't use the strap and with the strap it's still half on my neck. Please someone make a seat belt guide to slide over the head rest posts.

I've made something, but I'm really not satisfied with it. I don't have the fabrication tools to do this properly.

If there would truly be a market for this (at a reasonable price), I'll go drop off my car with my engineer tonight and see what he can fab up.

I'd be interested in something like this if priced cheap enough - but wasn't cheaply made. Dance a fine line between a quality product and not paying a premium price for it. Everyone's idea of value would be different, but $30 is "no brainer" money. $100 would make me think twice if I need it.

Yes please.

I'm working on version two, if I can get the pieces welded I'll post pics at least to get the idea ball rolling.

It's night time so the pics may not be all that clear. I think you can get the idea though.

The base of the loop sticks past the headrest about four inches. After a short drive, this seems like a good distance for me. It's still a compromise, but one that will be livable.

Right now I have hockey tape protecting the headrest posts from getting scratched, as well as holding the bar in place.

It's not pretty, any of it. I'm hoping if someone makes something like this it'll be a lot more elegant. This is just a cheap piece of bar stock and an even cheaper piece of round stock, bent and welded together.
