Seat belt problem
So the other day I used a piece of 5/8 " plastic tubing 2 1/4 " ( black ) long to attach the prongs of the seat !!! 1st push one end down the bottom prong then gently bend the top prong to fit the top of the plastic tubing and move piece toward middle !!! Wayne

Quoting the Owner's Maual:
"The seat has a safety belt guide. The safety belt guide helps position the shoulder belt over the shoulder and across the chest of smaller adults and of older children who have outgrown booster seats. "

Seat Belt Problem
I used a short piece of shrink tubing to span the opening! Just slid it on, and hit with a heat gun...work great!

Yep, can work and I know some "other than short folk" use the guide but this is what it says in the Owner's Manual. I found early on (before I saw the note in the manual) using the guide uncomfortable and not needed!

My previous CPO '14 had a dozen or more dings in the driver door panel from the previous owner letting the buckle fly when releasing.

I'm 6'3" and bought the Sandy Eggo clips for my belts. I like it much better and feel more secure using the guides and have no issue with comfort factor this wsy.

I'm 5'11" (AND a half!) and I'm also using the Sandy Eggo clips. Love them staying in the guide. Comfort? They are as comfortable in or out of the guides, so... are any belts really comfortable? Can't wait for Demolition Man foam.

That part of the manual is one of the inaccurate ones. Many of us tall people (6'2") prefer the shoulder harness staying in the guide because it's more comfortable, it's more accessible when buckling, and lastly, because the metal buckle doesn't ding your door panels when you release it.
My previous CPO '14 had a dozen or more dings in the driver door panel from the previous owner letting the buckle fly when releasing.

If the shoe fits wear it! Doesn't for me.
