The cause of the problem is where the top of the belt attaches to the car, but that thing adjusts the bottom instead. I wish there were an easy way to relocate the stock mounting point.

I haven't got a chance to purchase one yet, but I believe it will help angle the belt to my body. It's not just the shoulder that is bothering me. It's the fact that the belt is more toward my right side, so I have to keep pulling it away from me.

I dont see any mention of just raising the seat. OP did you adjust the seat height to its maximum postion? If you do the seat sits really high up (my head hits the roof).

I'm 5'5" and I have the neck problem, I normally resolve it by pinning my shirt between my neck and the seatbelt, or if I'm wearing a polo I just place the polo neck over the seatbelt.

Maybe it's your seating positioning and height? I'm 5'5" as well and have no issues with the seatbelt. I sit pretty close to the wheel though.

I sit just close enough that my knee is slightly bent when I depress the clutch pedal

check out what this guy did. He sells them on his site

I have been looking into this solution for a while and its pretty adjustable.

i'm 5'2'' as well, and don't really have any seat belt issues once i adjust it so it sort of sits on my shoulder
i can understand what you're saying because if i don't use the little clip it will hit me in the neck.....
i also have the seat up all the way, my knees are slightly bent so if i put my foot behind the brake pedal it would touch the floor behind it, and my arms are slightly bent so i'm not too close or too far from the steering wheel

i also have the steering wheel out and down all the way

if nothing works the only thing i would suggest would be a fluffy sleeve.....had those before for a giant altima that i literally needed a booster seat for, or a few phonebooks

haha, i do the very same thing with my jacket. I place my hood over the belt. So far i'm using the Belt Adjuster, got for $5 at walmart. It work just fine!! I love it. Just that it takes time to place the belt onto the adjuster every time u seat belt. Other than that, i feel safer to know that the belt is wrapping me up just right.

Sorry, wrong link. I meant to show the seat belt adjuster clip.

I had always liked the lambo door, but due to my height. I'm not sure if it's right for me. I might end up having a hard time trying to close the door hahaha...
