Front seat belts rub against neck - very bothersome

[Reeler]

The Model X has an adjustment for the belt in the B pillar. Doesn't make sense that the Model S is missing this. My 2011 Nissan Leaf and almost every car has this now.

Model S is due for a redesign when Elon decides it's time to pull another demand lever.

It would be good to know the vertical range, at the B-pillar. Glad Model X addressed it, because I suffer from the same issue. I use a brass buckle to link the Model S belts together, before they go into the clip.

I am not just going to put a seat someplace I don't want it, so that the belt gets off my neck. I already do that, when I want to be close enough to use the screen :redface: .

For those TM employees on here lurking, please take note: I would *PAY* (a reasonable amount) for this retrofit!

I had the same issue/complaint since early days of my MS ownership 3 years ago. I complained to the service center and they tried every which way but couldn't solve the problem. I tried several locking clips and finally found this one from Amazon which solved the problem..

Amazon.com: Metal Seat Belt Locking Clip - Pack of 2: Automotive

Give it a try.

The Masterlink product (also available from amazon) listed earlier in this thread worked well for me, and it can be not used or adjusted by other drivers in a second or two...

Can you post a pic? My seat belts don't seem to have a twist, and I think I would notice. That sort of thing would drive me nuts!

I know longer own a model S but I can tell you I had the same problem with the half twist it is fixable in about 10 seconds if I recall you take the seatbelt strap that goes up to your shoulder and fold it over on itself. Looks like a triangle. it kind of looks like the beginning of a paper football that you made as a kid and then you slide the adjustable part over it while making sure the fold doesn't release. It will release obviously on it's own once the adjustable part slides over it That explanation might be a little bit off but the service guy did it for me at my house when I had the same complaint while he was fixing other things it was so simple
