Default front seat belt too high

Hi,
does anyone know of a way to make passenger seat belt lower, as my wife is to short for the factory setting and the seat belt is not in the proper position across her body- potentially dangerous situation.
In other cars it can be easily done just by moving the seat belt locker up or down.
Thanks

Unless there are other mounting points further down the pillar (unlikely) the only way would be to have some fitted. This, I imagine, would entail engineering and ADR approval.
Perhaps the seat could be raised? Possibly fitting a drivers side seat bottom (with the height adjusters on it) may get her up a little higher.

The fairlane's are height adjustable, I would look into finding the mechanisims and cover from a wrecker, and swapping it over with the falcon one.

Default I found something...

I found something in BigW for ~$27, it's a kind of seatbelt glove designed for kids. It is fixed on the "loose" end of the belt and holds the junction so the belt is situated properly across the body.
Anybody tried it?
