Has anyone any guidance for raising the seat belt guide fastened to the back of my driver's seat? I'm not particularly tall but I find the seat belt pulls tightly down onto my right shoulder which is slightly uncomfortable. In my "normal car" the belt guide is fastened to the door pillar at a position several inches above the shoulder which keeps the belt loose and away from the shoulder until it's really needed but not so in the Plus 4. Any ideas gratefully received.

I have thought of trying to make one but not delved into it yet.
Mine broke too. Replaced with a couple of ‘slipperier’ homemade belt skids.

Yes - exactly as Martin described and as shown in pictures from Clemens. Revolutions added a small dense foam layer to the metal plate that sits under the leather to stop this from chafing the seat (showed me evidence of this on older CX cars when supplied from new). Overall it raises the belt a little - about an inch - and pushes it away from the seat enough to make it easier grab when initially fastening.

That reminded me. I had some leftover leather motorbike handgrip wrapping. It attaches with 3m type sticky backing, easy to remove. I stuck a short (< 2") strip onto the top of the seat, underneath the new seatbelt guide, just to give protection to the seat from any chafing. Seems fine. So far the new guides are still well proud of the top of the seat.
