I normally hang out on the J30 forum, but have a friend who just bought a G37 Coupe and has a problem I thought I would ask you all about -- I already did a search here and couldn't find an answer...

She's short and the seatbelt at the pillar mount will not go low enough to not be high up at her neck -- not a good place if she's in an accident :cry:

She's been back to the dealer and they've said it's adjusted as low as it will go and there is no other solution. I know some years back I'd seen an extension unit that you basically bolted into the pillar and then attach the seatbelt mount that used to be bolted there, to this extension unit. That lowers the whole assembly down for short folks.

With all the modern seatbelt pre-tensioners etc., not sure if this sort of thing would even work, but I thought if anyone had found a solution you folks would have figured it out.

Thanks in advance for any help you have to offer.

alright, so you had to grow taller (re-read your post) :chuckle:

Did'ja use growth hormones? A rack? One of those you-can-increase-your-size-by X type products??! :lolling:

Y'all do have some serious forum folks over here now don't ya'? She's 70, so I doubt the hormones will work anyway...
