Ouch... My elbow!

[AEsco48]

Ok ok... hope this does not come across as some panzy princess post...

I constantly hit my right elbow on the seat belt buckle receiver corner when off-roading. I think it may have affected my funny bone/ulnar nerve to the point its super sensitive and painful with just resting my elbow on a countertop...

Am I the only one with this issue?

Has anyone seen any covers/protectors that work to cover the corners? The one I have seen go around the body and are more to prevent rear seat receiver from going in between the seats.

For now, I have been wrapping a microfiber cloth around the whole assembly.

I think I'm too short to have this problem lol. I have smashed my elbow on the door latch sliding out before though and boy did that hurt.

Those of us with fat posteriors don't have that issue.

Something I can recommend comes to me just from your first picture.
Dirt bike cross bar pad.

What are you doing with your hands or arms that you keep hitting the seat belt receiver? My right hand is usually on the steering wheel or the shifter.

How fucking long are your arms!!!! With mine at my side I have a lot of room before it would hit???

I guess I have long arms... hands on the wheel and I hit the seat belt constantly when i have my hands at the bottom of the wheel (i assume).
In 6ft with long legs, seat is all the way back, the steering wheel is all the way down and extended (towards me).

In that picture there is a bar pad... But since then I have installed an underbar MSC Moto Steering damper and it has a bridge handelbar clamp... so no bar pad now...

You missed my point, bar pad on your seat belt receiver, no more banged elbow.
You probably have one in the garage.

My right arm is on the wheel or resting on the console. I'm not sure if I could even get my elbow to the area of the seat belt thingy.



Dammit, now this has got me wanting to get into my truck and see if I can bang my right elbow on the seat belt thing.
Great, thanks a lot!

May not want the answer to that... lol

No, my arms don't come near the seatbelt, but I use the top half when driving offroad, and in general... If I'm cruising on a long stretch of road, I might use the lower half...

that's odd. I dont have that issue @ 6' 2. I usually have my right arm on the wheel, left hand on the grab handle when needed or both hands on the wheel.

I wanted to sarcastically say get elbow pads, a crash helmet and bubble wrap you panzy princess, but i will refrain myself. <--- I am just kidding.

How about a elbow pad? There are some made specifically for ulnar nerve protection. I would try a elbow pad since it is painful just resting on a counter top. Go to your doctor and get a opinion. I had ulnar entrapment that required surgery, don't mess around, the sooner you get it taken care of the better.

Use the armrest ?

My elbow doesn’t come anywhere near the seatbelt latch.

Same here or both hands on the wheel; conditions dependant

I just tried on the way home… I really have to scrunch down and try to touch with my elbow… and I end up hitting the console way before the seatbelt…
