If ur trying to prevent the seatbelts from flapping, i found the best fix was to buy cheap seatbelt shoulder belts and velcro them around the seatbelt where it extends from the plastic - dont velcro too tightly - and its a permanent fix, and isnt visible. I can post pics if u want.

Default Heavy Commuter Clothes Rack Mod

Made a thread about this, but decided to go ahead and throw it up here so somebody might actually read it, haha.

I was packing up my Jeep to head back to college for the spring semester and realized I wasn't going to be able to hang all my "nice" clothes or jackets on the hooks I have in the backseat, so I improvised.

Took the chin up bar that fits in my door frame (household door frame, not jeep haha) and flipped it to where it hangs from the rear overhead roll bar, the weight of the clothes then acts as a counterweight against the hardtop and the two nuts in the bar secure it from moving on the go.

Doubt this works with a soft top, and no idea on a two door.

One thing that bothered me on my Jk was that ugly pinch seam right below the doors. Most nerf bars cover this up but if your like me your not using them. I found a cheap way to cover this if your interested. I bought a roll of 3" grip tape for cement steps at my local hardware store. About $10. Brought it home, cleaned the pinch seam area & applied the tape. You can cover the whole seam from front to rear. IMO it looks great & even has a rough surface that looks pretty cool. So far it has stayed in place even through the automatic carwash. Here's some pics of my MT JK & the pinch seam coverup.
Sorry only my second post, I forgot b/4 pics.

I did this one this past weekend - love the look, that 'unfinished' look of the pinch seam always bugged me....

Until I get some nerfs or rockers...
