I used a 4 pack of mini bungee cords from Canadian Tire, cost about $4.00 problem solved front and rear. The front belts do still retract out of the way when you take them off fairly well.

I did this on my front and rear belts and it works great. I bought black ones from O'Reilley and they blend very well. You don't even really notice them. Think I paid $4 each but it was worth every penny.

X2! I did this trick right after I took my doors off for the first time. Works great, plus it's cheap, and easy.

Simplest thing is just to put a twist in the seat belt. I messes up the airflow and stops the flapping.

For the back I use the two velcro straps that came with my Jeep. I got the straps even though I did not get the sun rider top.

Default FLapping - Solved

Go to Home Depot and buy the felt stickers that go under chair legs. They have them as large as 3 inches in diameter. Stick one to the plastic a few inches above where the seat belt comes out of the roller. Fixed!
