Just picked up my g coupe two weeks ago. Fiancés mom used our suv for the weekend so she gave me her 2011 37x sedan 3days later I drove an hour and a half away and bought a coupe first thing I noticed on ride home seat belt sucks! But unlike my 08 tl type s I traded for our 08 Mdx the g does not have an annoying beeping that keeps telling you your belt is not on so that was my fix for now not to safe but until someone figures this out that's all I got

I notice you guys all mention you're height of 5'5 or more and having this prob....i think its the seat beat itself. Im 4'11 and the seat beat cuts me at the neck and chin. Even if i tried adjusting the height or how far back i can go with the seat. It still cuts me. I just pull it under and put my arms over it...so it sorta strapping my side and chest instead.

Hi,
I'm about to buy a 2012 G37S and love almost everything about the car, but I have a big problem with the seatbelt sitting on my neck. I can lower the arm temporarily, but as soon as I raise my arm to put my hand on the top of the seering wheel it creeps back up again. I am not that short (5'8), so I am surprised to have this problem. Even raising the seat doesn't help that much.
Has anyone encountered this problem and fixed it in a safe way?
Thanks!

Been using these since my first G Coupe:

That seems like it would be a good fix, I really don't notice anymore though.

6'1 and same issue. I push the arm down usually but I feel like the problem is actually with the seatbelt latch near your right hip where you clip in the buckle. It sticks up entirely too high so its not snug against my waist. I feel like its made for very "robust" people who would have a hard time getting it around their waist. For me this ends up making the belt stick in the air at an awkward angle and cut into my neck.

Someone sent me a PM remind me that I never update this thread with my results.
I found a solution that works for me. It has some minor annoyances, but after a few months I don't even notice it anymore.

Annoyances:
Getting it on the first time is a bit tricky. Pay special attention to the diagrams.
It stays on, but it works by latching the top part of the seatbelt with the bottom part. You have to undo this each time you unbuckle your seatbelt. If you don't..chaos occurs.
Fortunately, this is a really simple thing to do. I do it one-handed now without thinking and no one that has riden with me has even noticed it.
The only other annoyance is that at first you have to play with it a bit to find a comfortable spot.
Overall though...very worth it. The seatbelt was a dealbreaker for me, but now I love my G.
