I had my Fiero out quyite a bit the last couple of days and noticed I sit leaning to the right to get away from the seatbelt cutting into my neck. Does anyone have any good tips/devices to help get the seatbelt away so I can sit up straight and enjoy the drive?

thanks for any help,

Dan

Does the belt cut into my neck? Yes.

Solutions? I lift the collar on my shirt, if the shirt has a collar.

thats what they make pads for

I have seatbelt pads that I bought from Oreif I love them!

Hey Dan , Oreif still has some Fiero seatbelt pads left . Look in the Mall section . Picked up a pair about a month ago , they look great and keep the damn edge of the seatbelt from digging into my neck .

My interior's not nearly as clean or nice looking as Cali Kid's, but you can see the pads in this pic

The seat belt pads are a good idea, but you do realize the Fiero shoulder belts are the old type that can be stopped from recoiling back. Just give the belt a short little tug and the belt will not retract until you pull it further out. they out lawed that type around 1990 because the belt isn't tight to the shoulder in a crash

I don't think I've ever had that problem. Probably is just me, I'm 6'4" and have the seat all the way back.. in my 88 GT

Just get some 4-point harnesses and you will never worry about that again. Plus you will be safer!

Actually, I have a pair that I got from him last month and they do look great, but I always slide it down to the waist when driving because I just can't stand to have something (soft or scratchy) against my neck when I'm driving. It's more of a personal problem I guess. I do like the cars today that let you slide the pivot point up and down which cures the problem.

I was just wondering if anyone has put those covers kids can use to hold the belt(s) at the latch point together which moves the chest strap to the left on the drivers side and farther away from the neck.

Thanks for the idea!!!

Dan

Just a reminder for those people out there that refuse to wear seat belts. As of May 19 it is now a nationwide law that you must wear a seat belt. They even have a slogan "click it or ticket". Buckle up.

Actually as of last Friday all pads have been sold. I don't have any more. I've done 2 "group purchases" but I haven't thought of doing a 3rd one yet. Not sure how many more people are interested in them.

"Seat belt and helmet laws suck."

Having said all that, I never leave the driveway without my seatbelt fastened. Nor do any of my passengers.
And I never ride a scoot without a helmet.

I have Oreif's seat belt pads too, but I find that they end up further down on my chest. The seat belt doesn't really bother me.

Why not go to a junk yard and pull off two of those belt holders that two door cars seem to always come with? Sounds like a easy fix if you think about it. My regal has belt holders screwed to the top of the seat and it never rides on my neck. They keep the belt on youre shoulder where it is suppost to be in a crash. If I have inspired ya great
