DO NOT use clips to modify the placement of a shoulder belt.  Doing this
is a potential disaster in an accident.  The clip will not hold in an
accident, allowing you to travel the extra distance the belt was stretched
out from normal before it catches you.  This is just like wearing a belt
too loose.  Results?  Broken collar bones, smashed faces, ...

Consumer reports has been very picky about cars that use this method of
seatbelt placement.
