'08s have seatbelt extender arm
#84
all i would need is the diameter of the headrest posts and how far apart they are.
you could use some rubber grommets, they would have to be pretty small cause the clearance is pretty close already.
thats a good idea though

I've always hated those belt holders attached to the tops of the seats. Even if no-one rides in the back seat, it is still used for groceries, luggage and other junk that just gets hung up on the belt. Or the belt gets strung across my forehead when reaching back in there to get something out(or across the back of my neck when backing out with stuff).
As far as the magnet or snap close belt holders in the 05-06 models, they work good but if you've got to let kids climb in the back, they trip over the belts if you use those holders.
Like most people, I typically find myself using my right hand to reach for the belt on my left side when in the driver's seat. For my 06 Mustang, since the belt is set back so far, I had to train myself to reach for the belt with my left hand going down near the base and to the rear of the seat (when not using those low mounted strap holders). Works great this way, just don't get your parka sleeve stuck like John Candy in "Plains, Trains and Automobiles".

it definately keeps it off your neck, it moves the pressure to the top of your shoulder, way more comfortable in my opinion.
im still waiting on a bunch of these to be made, then i will get some out to you guys.

I've had the car a couple days now. It's funny how a new owner does dark on here for a couple days..... ![Flag](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/flag.gif)
Anyway, the extenders do an OK job but I think I'll still get some pads. Would like some black ones with a smaller tribar pony or something.
I'm used to them from my previous car.

I have that feature in my 08, Still didn't make it that easy to grab the belt and my seat back touches the back seat cushion. I guess it used to be worse so I should count my blessings.
I first noticed it when I heard the 'click' noise. Wonder how long that will last
