I tried to find something via Google regarding my question but I found nothing so I thought I'd ask the group.
For business reasons, I've leased F-150's for the past 6 years. I've had a
1997, a 2000, and now a 2003. All were supercabs, XLT, 4X4 etc. I'm not sure when they did it between my 2000 model and the 2003 model but they have changed the seat belt mountings. Before the shoulder portion with the retractor was mounted above the back seat door on the ceiling. My 2003 has the shoulder belt coming out of the back of the seat, ala most convertibles. While I enjoy this free access to the back seat (no seat belts to push out of the way) I find this set-up to be too tight on my shoulders. I'm constantly pulling on it to relieve the tension. My dealer told me to get used to it, but after 5 months, I still find it irritating. I've thought of putting some sort of a clip over the belt to prevent it from fully retracting tightly over my shoulder but I presume that if I did that the belt would not fully retract when I exit the vehicle, resulting in the door being shut on the dangling seat belt.Anybody else annoyed by this? Any solutions?
