The shoulder belts cut across my throat. I cannot locate an extension because the seatbelt connector is proprietary and the car manufacturer has been unable to provide a solution. I think I need an extension, to enable the shoulder belt to cross the center of my chest and across my shoulder. However due to the proprietary seat belt latch, I cannot locate a 3rd party to provide a solution. I'm concerned that in a minor accident where a properly-fitting seat belt would protect me from injury, I may receive a severe or fatal neck injury instead. Is the car manufacture responsible for helping find a solution? I'm willing to pay for parts or special design changes.
