R52 Seat belt concerns?

Seat belt concerns?
OK... my wife complais alot when she is riding in my car... usually about my driving and being thrown all over the place... but ... She also complains that the seat belt does not stay on her shoulder because the top of the mount is lower than the regular MINI's.
for me it is not an issue becase my left hand is always on the wheel. Has any one else had this problem... my wife is very tall and i'm sure this does not help much... thoughts? Solutions? (ideally)

Try the CG locks
I just picked up a set of CG Lock for the seat belts..
You can find them at Outmotoring at http://outmotoring.com/cg_lock.html
or see if someone close by has a set to try out - they install in about 1 minute...
For me these made a BIG difference in driving & passenger stability in the seat... To put is simply the car holds you with these devices.. So that 'thrown around feeling" is gone..
Hope that helps..

Maybe some suspension work??
Well if you are already held into the car with the CG locks... Then maybe the mini is swaying too much...
From your sig file, it looks like you have not chaged the rear anti-sway bar yet... That would be a big help, espically on a convertible... This is not a quick install because the underside of the convertible is different than the hard tops - but it is still doable.. To change the rear anti-sway bar you need to drop the exhaust to get access to a few "extra" bolts on the cabrio..
Enjoy..
