There is an adaption to the door latch that helps prevent seat belts and trousers pockets being caught. LRO and LRM advertise some time ago I think.

I used one of those padded shoulder straps of a satchel bag. It's black so blends in and sits perfectly. I've had to buy 2 sets of new seat belts because of that damn latch!

Permanent bruise/chafe on the webbing, but never managed to actually split one - top work! Oh, and countless pairs of jeans with belt loops (and usually lump of surrounding denim) ripped out......probably slightly more prone having a posterior the size of a small country....... oops...... Cheers, A

There's a thing called the X Trouser which doesn't stick out so much and is less likely to snag the seatbelt or clothes.

I've got them on mine, and it helps a bit but it is still possible to slam the seatbelt on the door catch. It's amazing how vulnerable seat belt fabric is these days.When I was young it was more or less indestructable, but stress engineers have been at work, apparently.

As you'll see Blobfly, it's more a question of 'has anyone not suffered from door catch abuse?'.
