The natural resting location of the seatbelt is way back at the B pillar, and when you're in a proper driving position (I have my seat positioned like my track instructor educated me to, elbows 50% bent, knees bent, for maximum ability to engage wheel/pedals with your muscles and stay mentally engaged, it ends up being a lot closer than all the fully leaned back, wrist over top brotards haha).

Previously in my BRZ, it had a little leather strap that snapped to the upper side bolster to hold the seatbelt within easy reach. This car seems to be in need of something similar.

Do you all just pull your side muscles to turn around and grab it, or have another solution?
I have a very simple solution - drop your arm DOWN by your side towards the door sill and do a backhand grab. No twisting and no stress on the shoulder this way!
