Driver Side Seatbelt Comfort

Does anyone have any suggestions on making the seatbelt more comforatable on the LC500. I have been driving my LC500 more and the chest strap rubs the left side of my neck (US Driver Here). I have adjusted the seat higher and it seems to help. My daily driver is an NX and I do not have any issues with the seat belt. I am also on the shorter side. I find myself having to pull and adjust the chest strap down and toward the window. Any tips and suggestions would help.

As is likely with our age demographic, can't you just tuck it under your man-boob?

Hi,
My wife uses a webbing clip, moves the vertical strap across your lap.

Example

Many more types/prices available
Regards.

The exact brand I've used for years, I can't find on line. But these on EBay are similar:

I had the same issue and bought a very similar item on Amazon and it solved the problem. Better than a pad IMO.

I’m 5’8” and the lack of seatbelt height adjuster is also an issue for me.
I bought one of the shoulder strap adjuster like above. While it solves the belt rubbing my neck issue, the clip itself on my waste is also really annoying. I decided to not wear it.
Actually, I decided to just not drive the LC.

All joke aside. I try not to wear T-Shirts on longer drive on the LC500. A polo or something with collar will protect your neck against the seatbelt.

Has Anyone Looked Into Seat Belt Extensions?

It looks like it would be easier as you do not have to adjust a clip.

There are so many that Lexus has. However, Not sure which one would fit the LC500

They look like they would work similar to the clips

I mean, a gentleman should always wear a collar, obviously…

Seat Belt extenders are for plus-size folks. Don't see how they would help here

I, myself, am not a big fella; I have no problem with the seatbelts in my LC or any other vehicle I have driven.

Normally, I wear T-shirts

Question - Do you run them through the seat belt guides❓

Taking the seat belt out of the guide lets it cross lower and down from the neck. I have worn it both ways, but it isn't a problem for me, and I settled on leaving it in the guide. I did initially fidgit with the seat belt. The clip does seem like it might help.
