LapDraw Pepper should sit snugly on your seat belt and not slide along it. The product is made to accommodate thicker seat belts, so if it fits loosely on your seat belt, use the sticker “shim” found in your user guide and place it along the floor of the base plate to create more compression against your seat belt. If it is still too loose, simply add a piece of masking or painter’s tape to the base plate. A Post-It note will
work as well. Please watch our video to watch how this is done.
