OEM Seat Belt Holder?

So I'm 5'7", and being a bit on the short side (HEY NO LAUGHS HERE ), I literally have to twist my body to reach for the seat belt, which, for someone with a bad back, gets old (no pun intended) REALLY quick.

I know for the OG M2, they made this, (which a lot of reviewers said was crap) but I generally like the idea of having a seat belt holder to help me out.

Did they ever come out with something like this for our cars?

Factory seat has a "holder" on the side. It looks like a defect because the plastic panel looks like it doesn't fit worth a crap, but it's really to hold the belt.

^^^ Exactly, you just have to make a habit of looping the seat belt in there every time you exit or enter the car. I remember about every 1 in 5 entries

Wouldn't be surprised to learn it was a design flaw that they turned into a "feature".

Maybe it will sound stupid a little bit, but I read whole user manual, it's even here with pic describing it. I found it really useful to always read user manual attatched to the car even if you had 1000 cars before and you think you know everything..there is always something useful/intresting there
