Anybody have trouble with their shoulder rubbing the B-pillar?

One of the minor issues I have noticed with my Gladiator, is when the seat is moved back far enough to be comfortable, my shoulder and arm will rub on the B-pillar. Normally, this hasn't been a real issue, but after just getting a vaccine shot in that arm it became a lot more sensitive to things rubbing on it.

Does anybody else have issues with the B-pillar, and are there any ways to get around the issue?

6'1", 240 lbs. Nope. I have the cloth interior and have read that the leather sits different, but I have head room and leg room to spare. Side-to-side isn't roomy, but it isn't tight either.

I'm tall and wide-shouldered and do not have this issue. I sit fairly upright and do not ever notice the pillar. The top bar is close to my head but that's something I live with in any vehicle

I am 6'3" with a broad shoulder frame and notice the B pillar riding on my arm somewhat. Nothing that bothers me but it is there. Had my first Vaccine shot also a few weeks ago but I had no issues with the B pillar and the injection site.

Of course everybody's body is different so it will be a YMMV situation. As to solutions, it may just be a "Cowboy Up" thing to just deal with and get through it.

It's not that it bothered me too much, but it seemed odd once I did notice it.

I do agree that the leather sits different than the cloth does but I think it may just come down to the cloth being a little grippier than the leather and not letting you move around in the seat as easily.
