Seat wear from the belt
Suspect I am not alone in this. There is starting to be wear on the top right shoulder of the driver chair from the seatbelt. Not keen on a seatbelt cover. Older Z’s had a guide. I am thinking that there might be an aftermarket fix that lifts the seatbelt up from the reel? Any ideas or other solutions?

I’ve only heard of belt covers being used to stop the marks, the lack of headrest tubes stops normal guides being used

I just use alcantara cleaner to keep the marks away. Does a good job. That areas looking a little worn from the years of rubbing now tho.

As I've posted before, I use sheepskin belt covers (made to length - 15" - by nurseyheepskin.co.uk), which work very well, especially on 'Ivory' white Alcantara.
There are now several Google pages of these covers by several makers, so it's obviously a popular solution. That said, I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to ... er ... 'wear' them to a ZEDfest.
