XTerra Wet suit Neck Rub?

Friends, I just tried on my new XTerra Vector Pro full wetsuit and found a little seam right on the back of the collar that kind of pricked my neck.  It's kind of a squared off piece of neoprene that appears to be glued in place.  I'm wondering if anyone else has had an issue with this?  I can't tell if it is going to rub my neck raw, but I am suspicious that it will.  Any experience?  Thanks.

    Had the same issue - used scissors to trim the tab back a bit. Has been mostly fine since with only minor rubbing on longer OWS.

    If what Steve suggests doesn't work, I know folks that actually put duct tape over that part. I have to use an excessive amount of body glide on my Blue70 suit, and there's not even a seam there, or I get rubbed raw...that oh so lovely "wetsuit hickey"!

    I've had problems with that also with my Xterra vortex. Since I only wear my wetsuit during races, my philosophy is to just suck it up, save the whining for later in the day when worse feelings will appear. :-D
