MOLLE seat belt pads!!! How did I not see these before!

*ordered*

I can see multiple uses for these, not including various MOLLE attachments I have from my airsoft gear :P

These are nice pads. I stopped using the one on the driver side though because it was really restrictive whenever I'd lean forward to look over my shoulder during lane changes.

Unhooking these from the seat defeats the purpose of the hooks. With no doubt they're great, wish I could find a way to use them better.

Just installed mine and tried mine out.

Great product for those looking for a seatbelt shoulder pad! You don't have to actually attach it to the seat if you don't want which is nice. The quality of the construction is top notch and matches the car perfectly.

However, the Velcro is a bit noisy. When the harness is against my shoulder I can hear the velcro shifting making a bit of noise. I think this will subside over time, but I think if it was constructed using buttons or a zipper it would alleviate this issue.

My primary purpose for buying these was to protect the seatbelt loops that can tear off easily, so I installed mine a lot further up than people have in this thread, not too concerned about having a seatbelt shoulder pad.

I think EMDOM should design a stubby version, thats 1/2 or 1/3rd the length of this unit, and maybe 2x as wide with TWO loops, specifically for protecting the seatbelt loop. I've been trying to think of how to do this for awhile, and I think this might be the best way of doing this using the MOLLE style design. Thoughts?

Got mine today, they're great, just wish the belt would slide a little easier through the pad, but that's a minor issue.

would it help if you don't wrap it as tightly around the belt? i actually don't mind it the way it is, so i haven't tried that.

i think that the bottom line is that the seatbelt loop design just kinda sucks, LOL. i'd have made it more sturdy, less prone to twisting and popping off. i'm not sure that a wider and shorter pad would solve that, since it'll still depend on the loop to keep it in place (besides the seat belt). maybe a simple sleeve that slips over the loop would work, just to take the abrasion.

I think anything that would keep that loop from pulling on its seam would work...

Anyway, I found another use for these pads... MOLLE is awesome!

When I ordered mine they said the same thing and it was at my door in 3 weeks. I put both on the drivers side. So, I really need to order another pair for the passenger side.
