Question for William R? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I just fasten the loop around the belt after I put my seatbelt on. And I unfasten the loop before I take my seatbelt off.

I can't stand the belt rubbing my neck without the loop fastened.

It's a pain, but I don't want to have to repair the seat cover.

While the padded belt does touch my neck, it is soft enough to make it comfortable for me. Another bonus is the pad keeps the belt from getting twisted up when it retracts.

As I was reading through this thread from the first post, this thought of a "sleeve" of some type came to me.
Seems that someone already thought of this solution, which makes great sense to me.

I agree with the sleeve idea. But again why should I have to pay someone fix this when it's a known issue and the car is under warranty?

I would do that but my wife isn't going to go through all that trouble! She wants it fixed correctly. The Recaro's were an additional $2K and this shouldn't be happening!

I agree with you respecting the factory design/warranty issue, but my understanding was that it was a design factor that wasn't right, rather than a product defect.
That's my reasoning for supporting a fix that could be done by yourself, rather than the problem being a warranty matter.
I may have been wrong, I'm good with that, but I was trying to offer support for a non-warranty situation, the sleeve option, that was causing you discomfort.

Just trying to help.

I know you aren't looking for a non-dealer solution, but this was something I did to fix the issue. Also kept the belt off my neck.

OK, here's a stupid question. On some cars, you can move where the shoulder belt is on the 'B' pillar.
A. do our coupes have that ? (I have a convertible, so no B pillar or adjustment.)
B. If they do, does it make any difference if you lower the attachment point of the shoulder belt?

That was the first thing that I checked. Unfortunately the seat belts are stationary on the B-Pillar.

You weren't wrong and I appreciate your response. My dealer is willing to replace the top seat cover under warranty again but I'm not one that wants to waste money (GM's or mine) I want to find a solution. Thanks again for your suggestion!
