The seat belt on my XC70 does not go over my shoulder.   It goes over my neck.   I am afraid itwill kill me in an accident.  Is there a way of lowering where the seatbelt starts from on the B-pillar?

Can you raise the seat up to a position that suits both your driving position and the seat belt location? I'm 5'-11" and find no issue with the seat belt crossing my neck -- but then I guess its the distance from your waist to your neck that's really important here.

If you can't get a soln in this forum or if say a cushion isn't a soln favored by you then suggest you call your Volvo shop for their inputs.

When did you discover the seat belt problem? Did you test drive your car before purchase, and if so was the problem not apparent?

Have you found a satisfactory soln yet ?
