Yes, it adds about 6lbs on each side. High above belt-line, not a good thing in terms of balance.

In fact I asked Mr.Tada about the absence of recliner angle memory on seats so it needs not reset each time it is folded for rear seat access,
and he clearly explained that that is also another 5kg on each side of the car, and with the goal of getting it as close to weight targets, it was left out.
Personally I could have lived with the 5kg, but I can also understand that each one of 30-40 requests like this can easily add 100kg to the car...so I respect his decisions.

I dont have any issues with it rubbing my neck, nor do I use the little straps on the side of the seat (afraid of tearing them off).

^^^
This.

I'm 5'10" and I have no rubbign issues at all. The shoulder bolsters are a little narrow for me, but otherwise seat comfort is great.

No issues at all at 6', not using the guide.

I notice it.

It rubs my neck and annoys the crap out of me. The seat belt strap is crappy and pops off at the slightest bit of tension. I'm thinking of getting on of those seat belt shoulder pads or something.

Ya the seatbelt rubs on my neck without using the strap. Im scared to use the strap tho because I've seen the top rip off in the demo cars. But like someone else mentioned, collared shirt has worked well.

I'm not using the strap with my seatbelt but the belt itself has unsnapped it a couple of times. It takes very little force to unsnap it.

Based on that, and the photos I've seen, I'm guessing the damage was done not by the belts, but by someone using the loop to adjust the seat and then pulling it off. All the ones I saw photos of damage for was the top connection, not the snap.

Just a thought, YMMV.

I thought it was just me

. Adjusted my seating position, that seemed to help. Need to dial in the seat some more for better comfort

Some people have big necks. Test: If you have a dress shirt, can you button the very top button??

I bought Tom's shoulder seatbelt pads, what a dream. I'll take a pic later. Very comfortable, and a cool red color to match the interior.

JDM yo!

I'm 6'1". The belt goes through the loop. Works great for me. Though on the passenger side, the seatbelt seems to be scraping and creating bubbles (not sure how to describe it) basically looks like it's digging into it. Almost like a chain mark or something. The seatbelt doesn't seem to be overly sharp/rough at any spots, and I did have to repair that exact same spot straight from the dealer so I don't know if it's just starting to eat into where it was repaired. Anyone else noticed this? Any suggestions what I could do?
