Default 2003T: Seatbelt cutting into my neck, help!

Just bought this car, love every bit of it except for this annoying bit where the upper strap of the seat belt is cutting into my neck. There is no adjustment to lower the strap a little from where it anchors.

There is a clip that nissan recommends that you attach the seatbelt to while its parked, but that doesnt help my problem. I'm wondering if you all can offer any solutions to this problem to lower the height a bit of where the belt attaches?

if the clip was closed and i ran the seatbelt through that clip, that would work perfect if only i knew how to close that loop and still be safe...

Does the back of your neck look like a pack of hotdogs?

how exactly do you do this? i think an inch down is all i'd need but where the seatbelt anchors where you pull from when you sit in the car, doesnt have any way to adjust it, so how?



btw... im not fat, just the opposite actually. but it's highly unfair and mean to make someone feel bad simply because they dont fit an average build. Every car i've driven including a lot of Nissans have always had some sort of seatbelt height adjustment slider, so im kind of shocked they didnt put one in here. I spent a lot of time and money to get this car and came here, to a seemingly friendly forum for some advice, not to be looked down upon over things I cant control. so if you dont have anything constructive to add here, just shut the **** up and dont say anything.

My sentiment exactly.

The OP asked a legitimate question and I don't understand how calling him fat has anything to do with it... plus it doesn't even make sense because the seatbelt would be rubbing your neck if you were a bit shorter, not fat. People should just answer the question or stay out of the thread if they're planning on making personal insults

Bunch of losers, minus tsar. I totally agree with you two.

Anyways I just wanted to add that this an important issue... my g/f has a similar problem in the passenger seat because she has a small build and I would be interested if you find a solution. I never even though to look for an adjustment on the B-pillar.
