| Description of the problem | From the driver's seat, my shoulder harness comes from left shoulder to right hip, where it is latched. The shoulder harness does not stay in a cross-body position and rides up to under my right armpit. I do not have a barrel belly that would force this up. The strap then is high enough to cross over my neck. I will be taking the car to the dealer to see if there is any "fix" for this, because i don't want to be beheaded by an improperly positioned strap. I have moved the adjuster on the door post and changed my seat postion. Neither action made a difference. With the seat more forward, the steering wheel is pretty close. How far away should i be? Anyway, i'm just wondering if others have had a problem with the shoulder harness riding up and what can be done about it. L |
