Was wondering if anyone else finds the seatbelt cuts into their neck? Was THIS close to buying a 2011 GT today but during the test drive no amount of seat adjustment made the belt comfortable.

same problem here

 

Same problem here. Why aren't they height adjustable? It's one of my biggest complaints.

 

Been this way since 05.
Mine cuts my neck too..constantly adjusting it out of the way.

 

+1 but I still bought and love owning the car...

 

I'm in a 2010 and I don't have any complaints about the seat belt cutting into my neck. But then again I'm a short bastard.

 

So is it uncomfortable if you're short or tall? I'm 6'1 and I did not even notice the seat belt on my test drive.

 

I'm 5'8 and felt I had to constantly pull it away from my neck.

Don't the dealers give you a pad or extender for free if you ask for it? I remember hearing when the 05's came out that you could get something to help this. KC talked about it here, I'll see if I can find the thread.

 

Yes, you can go into any Ford dealer and the will give you an extender for free. Usually they have more than one length avaliable. KC had found that they helped with this issue, & he had them in-stock.

This is another area the coupe is superior to the ‘vert, which begins the seat belt below seat back level, with no other routing gizmo – it just comes over the seat back and onto your shoulder. The coupe at least starts the belt up higher, so at least you have geometry on your side. This is an irritant to me, but not a deal-breaker.

 

I don't have any issues with it (I am tall and sit relatively high in the car so it rides low on my shoulder) but my wife complains about it all the time (she is shorter so it rides high on her neck)

It seems like the extender might be the cure if you want it to ride higher (for a tall person), or the pad would help make it more comfortable on your neck if it rides too high (for a short person).

 

I have found the belt in my 2011 to be very comfortable. I'm 44 and have almost never worn a seat bealt. It was the comfort from the belt in the new car that got me to wear it all the time now.

 

Helps, but doesn't cure

I had the same problem when I bought my '05 new... but after a month, the belt seemed to become more comfortable... or I grew, lol.

 

I'm comfortable with mine, but I agree they should have been height adjustable for shorter people. Furthermore, when are we going to get four-point belts? http://www.edmunds.com/ownership/saf...4/article.html

 

mines uncomfortable. So from reading these posts it seems to not be a problem to people who are tall and who are short.

Oh well for us average guys haha

 

Never even noticed it on my test drive... Hmm.
