for those who put seatbelt pads in the back seat.... are you actually able to fit people back there?

These ones look nice but $156? Oh well, they had me at TRD.

What is dri lex and how did you do that? That looks like it would be comfy plus keep the seatbelt more situated than just the buttoned loop.

I could probably run one like that, all the others suck in that they move around and don't stay put.

Where did you have them made and can they make any more?

drilex is a performance textile fabric used in shoes, backpacks, athletic shirts etc.

the company that made this prototype to my specs actually makes tactical nylon gear - they can definitely make more; just depends on interest.

How much did this cost? This is something I'd be interested in.

Don't have one, but I'm actually thinking about getting a seatbelt pad now that I've read this thread. My seatbelt digs into my neck and collar bone when it tightens up >.< Not very comfy

they have not priced it out yet - they're waiting for my feedback to see if any changes are necessary or if there's any interest. my friend works at the company so i asked him to have this made for me to try out. so far so good - you can adjust the ride height of the pad by putting the loop through a different loop on the pad. the pad stays put and the seatbelt slides in it. you don't have to use the seat loop if you don't want to. the same pad works for both driver and passenger sides - you just reverse it.
