Default Seat Belt too short or belly too big?

I've got a nagging problem with my 80 Euro. The seat belts seem too short. I'm 5'8" 185 lbs with a bit of a belly - not obese and not shaped funny. The car has manual seats and a sunroof. The drivers side seat belt just barely reaches around me to attach and there's no way I could wear a helmet in this car without the sunroof open. As it is I can't seem to find a way to drive comfortably. Is this a "me" problem or is there a known fix?

He is from Georgia maybe likes to "get up on the wheel" NASCAR style. At 6ft 4in and about 350 lbs even with my short legs, 30 inch inseam....the belt fits And no sunroof, I can wear a helmet. True it rubs the roof but I get in there !!

I'll _guess_ that the belt feeder is jamming. There's a lot of belt on the reel.

What I would like to know is "Who ate all the pies?".
