Our seat belt female clip ends are way down near the seat and hard to buckle
there. Does anyone make a short rigid seat belt extender?

I see some on Google that are 9" but all we need is about 2", just to get it
higher and make them easier to get to.

Contact your local Toyota dealer service department. They can order a
custom seat belt extender, but it won't be rigid.

For some reason, ALL Toyotas are like that! Even my '05 Scion is hard to
buckle the belts.

By comparison, my Subarus have longer seat belt fasteners, and I tend to
use them more in these cars than in my Toyotas.

I wonder if that could be a solution? If the buckle fits the receptacle,
you could get some out of an old Subaru and bolt them to the floor. It's
not hard to do, you just have to have the right tools.

Why? When I can just get an extender?

Didn't realize they had ones like the one you referenced. All I have ever
seen are the long, belt type.
