Default with top off seat belt vibrates bad!

Have a 13 2 door. Just took the top off this week. While driving around noticed that the seat belt vibrates bad with the top and doors off. Any suggestions for stopping or damping this? Thanks

I used the padded seat belt covers you can get at Walmart for $2 ea. I put them on the part of the belt that comes from the floor, up to the top of the seat. That's where mine were vibrating really bad with the doors off. I'll try and grab a pic tomorrow.

That's a great idea!

I just tuck the seatbelt behind the recline lever. It still vibrates but not nearly as bad

The plastic it vibrates off of is held on by those automotive push pins. You can pull it out, tuck belt behind it than push the pin so it clicks once or twice. Keeps it loose enough for belt to slide back and forth. But then the belt is behind the plastic protecting it from the wind. $0

Mine does it too. Haven't had the top off in a while, though. I had it off on a long trip and I was going to listen to flapping seatbelts for 600 miles. I tied it to the pillar with a piece of rope.

The padded seatbelt cover is the way go.
