Default Seat dimension question

Does anybody know the height (length maybe?) of the seatback on the GT2 seat (or any of the seats, I assume they're similar in height)? Trying to figure out if the slot will actually be usable for harnesses unlike the C7 Competition seats where the slots are below your shoulders. Thanks, pic included below.

Thanks for the pictures! It looks like the GT2 seatback is approximately 19 inches wide at it's widest part. With that in mind it appears the slot is at about 25 inches so it could possibly be below my shoulders but I'm not sure. Thanks for the help! Hopefully I can use harnesses without having to buy aftermarket seats.
