Your shoulder harnesses are dangerous. The drivers side should be relocated to a cross bar that mounts on the roll bar so the high point is above your shoulders. There isn't much that can be done with the passenger side except to not use them. What you have is a calculated risk. In the event of a front or rear end collision the forward motion will force you forward in your seat and since the shoulder harnesses are lower than your shoulders, push you downward and will likely result in spinal compression.

For the passenger side the shoulder harnesses will keep you upright and in the absence of a roll bar, your passenger's head and shoulders, er, well, are the roll bar.... My wife refused to ride in the car for this reason. Truth be said, rollover accidents in a Cobra are not tolerated well by either passenger or driver, but the compression of the low mounted harnesses can be avoided...
