Does your seatbelt rub against your neck while driving. I feel like if I get in to an accident its gona cut me. I know you can raise the seat height but that affects comfort and makes reaching the pedals more difficult. I'm so pissed that you cant adjust the seat belt vertically. Do you guys feel the same way.

does your car come with the little holder on the seat belt? i know the 08s have it...Im 5'8 with no problem, but maybe that could help you...or if you do have that maybe you should take it off and see if that works.

What does the holder look like? I'm 5"6" as well and don't have any problems with my seatbelt.

The holder is the little strap on the side of the seat that has a button on it. I'm 5'7 and the seat beat belt rubs me also... hate it but its better than a ticket or eating the windshield so I just deal with it. They do make a seatbelt adjuster that goes over the lap belt that you can slide toward the door to move the strap off of your neck but then the belt climbs up your stomach and it is uncomfy there to so... it still sucks!

I believe there's an adjustment on the door pillar so you can lower the belt a few inches.
