Default Annoying Seatbelts?

Is it just me? I'm taller than average (6'3"), but I've never had a seatbelt ride on my neck like in my 07 Mustang. Does anyone have the same problem or had it and found a good solution?
Thanks!

I don't have the problem, so my suggestion is just based on seeing an item in a catalog.

You could try a seat belt cover. AutoSport sells them.

You will still have the seat belt in the same position, but you will have something softer against your neck.

it must depend how you sit in the seat, I'm 6'1" and I'm pretty comfortable in the stang. I sit with the seat bottom all the way down and kinda close to the dash to make it easy to hit the pedals. then I recline the seat back, not ghetto style but comfortable, it works for me.

I'm 6'1" and i'm fine with it. I have the seat lowered completely and moved back all the way. Seat reclined as much as you would normally sit on a couch

I haven't had a problem with it yet (perhaps how I'm sitting, I'm 5'11"). My girlfriend on the other hand says it rides her neck (She's in the 5' range?). She just got one of those foot long seat belt covers for the passenger side. It is surprising though that the seat belts aren't adjustable like most cars these days.

I'm 6'2" and it used to hit my neck. Then I figured out how to lower the seat, put it down all the way and I'm good to go now.

I'm 6'3" no problems here, but my seat is lowered as far down as it goes, and reclined to a comfortable angle. definately makes the difference. Hope it helps!!
