Default Driver's seat belt problem

I’m a shortie - 5' 1". The seat belt cuts me right across my neck. Is there a cure for this problem? Unfortunately I am not getting any taller. Lol.
Thanks.

Here is a thread that talks about adding spacers to raise the seat height https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...hort-guys.html.

This thread may or may not have useful info for you https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...onversion.html. May only be applicable to aftermarket seats, but worth checking out.

I just used the Search function in C5 General (could also try C5 Tech) with the key words "Seat Belt Adjustment." Good luck.

Simple seat belt adjuster (just a clip that goes on the belt over your left shoulder to stop it from retracting all the way).......you dont want to leave too muck slack, but you are right......it does no good if the belt lies across your neck.

Thanks I am ordering a seat belt adjuster from Amazon. Hopefully that will fix the problem.
