Fix for seatbelt on neck?
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!

i'm 5"8 also and have the same problem. I had a 350z and a G35 and both gave me the same problem and now the g37. I've been wearing a sweater/hoodie since it's been cold lately which solves the problem, but once summer comes, i'll be back to wearing t-shirts and the problem will be back.

How much does it annoy you? I'm trying to decide if this is a dealbreaker for the car... :-/

Do you mean something like this? http://www.amazon.com/Sheepskin-Seat.../dp/B000CAINRK
Wouldn't that still leave a safety issue? It would annoy you less around the neck, but I can't imagine having the belt against your neck is good in a serious accident.
I just ordered a few clips to see if one can get the seatbelt to stay in the right position. I ordered:

Amazon.com: Dorman HELP! 74325 Seatbelt Clip Retainer: Automotive
and
