Seat Belt Too High for my Wife - she's only short
Does anyone have a remedy for the height of the seatbelt as it currently threatens to strangle my wife - some members of the forum may suggest this is one of the better features of the interior trim, but so far I prefer her alive, not dead!

Any help would be appreciated! Thumbs Up

Childs booster seat is going to be easiest.

A pair of Mud Rails to raise the seatbase?

Thanks Pom, she is a few years younger than me, but I'm not sure she's ready for the Booster yet, It's worth a laugh though!!

It's all in the disposal technique Shocked

If a straight replacement of the wife is to radical, how about MASSIVE shoulder pads.

The boot doesn't have seatbelts that chaffe. Give her that option?

Four stacks of penny washers then? Rolling with laughter

You might have to invest in four longer bolts however!

I have a set of exmoor trim seat rails in the garage going spare Whistle I bought them to give me more legroom which was good, unfortunately they also raised the seat too high meaning I had to duck down to look out of the side window which I found very annoying Big Cry

Big thanks for the kind offer Lorryman, but I reckon if I fitted those her feet wouldn't touch the floor.. Big Cry
