Seatbelt rubbing the driver's seat...

Something I forgot to mention in my BNE-MEL-BNE trip report. After my wife had shared the driving on the way down, we noticed a rub mark on the seat fabric. It hadn't happened before, since she had rarely driven it. Although of modest height myself (1.75m, 5'9"), the seat belt didn't rub. However, my wife is of the shorter persuasion (1.65m, 5'5"), and a small rub mark has appeared near the seam. The cure was simple, I bought some of those lamb fleece seat belt protectors from SupaCheap Auto. Shame I didn't think about it previously. Actually, a few mm more contouring in the seat design would cure it....

Actually, to the right of the stitching, but yes, pretty much the same. For shorter people who must bring the seat forward, this can be a problem. The sheepskin belt protectors cost $12.99, and aren't a bad idea anyway.
