Another under $10 mod
Just returned from a 600 mile trip & the only complaint was the shoulder belt got a little annoying. Found these shoulder pads on fleabay for $5 plus shipping. Their material quality and stitching are impressive. Still under $10 total.

While the manual does say that (more or less) I'm not miniature size and when I have the belt outside the guide I can never find the belt when I reach over my shoulder in my c7 convertible. In the guide the belt's right there so I gave up trying. And no I don't have baby arms either.

Whether you like the Corvette selt belt pads or not, there really is no reason to beat up the poster over such a small thing.
It seems to me that those who criticize such smalls things in life really have some issues about life in general and appear under stress.
So beat me up, cut me down, because I have the same type shoulder pads which I find to be quite comfortable. I am a full sized adult, and they do help. It's what we like, not what you like.
I don't care if they are C5, C6 or C7 logos on the pads. They serve a purpose. So if you feel compelled to chime in with some rude remarks, you won't hurt my feelings, but your just wasting time, typing on the keyboard to be rude.
So here you go.

While many members here that have posted on this thread have a tendency to "beat" people up such as the poster who started the thread, I agree with post #1.

It seems that it would also serve the purpose of keeping the buckle lower for easier access
