Seatbelt flapping with doors off and top down.
I'm curious if anyone on here has found a solution to this issue. I love driving with the doors off and the top down, but cannot stand the seatbelt flapping. It also keeps some people from riding with me, since they cannot stand it either.
I got the rears to stop with paracord, but haven't found a solution to the fronts.

just buckle them up, pull out the belt out all the way, then a sharp pull to activate the ratchet lock. let all the slack get taken up and then a couple extra pulls to tighten the belt down. If its really windy the belts may still buzz a bit, but no more flapping all over the place.

I picked up a roll of self-attaching velco, cut off a piece about 24 inches and wrap at around the roll cage and get very little or no flapping at all. when you need to use the seat belt, i just wrap the velcro around the roll bar.....

The problem is that they flap while you are wearing the belt.

Go to wal-mart and buy a set of those cheap seat belt pads...you know, the ones that keep the seat belt from scratching your neck. Place them around the belt that retracts down into the floor, not the part of the belt that you actually pull out. Flapping gone, and only costs a few bucks.

I bought some seatbelt shoulder strap adjusters.
The quickest place I could find them online is ht tp://www.organize-it-online.com/itm_seatbeltadj.html?cmpid=Froogle
I strap the vertical part to the part going across my lap and it holds it away from the column. They drag on the belt slowing down the strap, but they stop the noise. It also works on the belt when it's not being used. When the doors are on, I disconnect it.
