She probably sits further forward that you
Actually, this design has the belt anchor traveling with the seat and the relationship remains constant keeping the belt from contacting the bolster...

How long are the one you have?
Sid - they are 10.5 inches long x 2.56 inches wide. I over lapped them about ½ inch so they would stay together on the seat belt. So far so good.

Got 2 items in the mail today from Amazon:

1. Soft Faux Sheepskin Seat Belt Shoulder Pads
Changed the color from dark gray to black to match the ebony interior with the black floor mats and black dash mat. They are approx. 11" in length, soft and furry so rubbing should not be an issue. Strong velco attachment strips.

2. A zippered book case to store invoices and service records on the Ranger.

Buy stuff
Would certainly fall under defective material/worksmanship/poor design. You can clearly show that the seat belt rubs on that location and that the rest of the seat is not worn due to you sitting in it.

I bought these on amazon and they've seemed to solve the problem. They come in a pack of four so two per side fits great.

I have a 2022 with 8700 miles. I noticed this exact issue quite some time ago. Now I realize what's causing it. I also worry about the left side of the seat compressing and wearing out early from me getting in and out of the truck.
