Pillar seatbelt anchor height.

Post by volvosneverdie »

A problem im having (with all 300s) is that the top pillar anchor on the seatbelt is so low that the belt just constantly slips down over my shoulder like a fat ladies renegade bra strap.

Surely cant be safe.
Has anyone come across any 'adaptor' system that can raise the height al all. Without physicaly taking it of and repositioning it?
Ive tried the 'scootching down in the seat method', but my legs is too long. :(

How tall are you mate? I'm 6ft and never a problem. you could run a harness
or actually making a bracket up is quite simple. to move top mount up.
