You beat me to the punch! The weather here in L.A. New Mexico is "scheduled" to be sunny with lows in the 30's and highs in the upeer 50's for the rest of the week. With that I put the top down last night.
This was the first time I have folded the soft-top and It was a bit of a pain. I had a very hard time releasing the over-the-front-door plastic-in-the-ridge sections and getting the boot on nicely.
Anybody else experience this? Its probably because it has never been taken down before but thought I'd ask. Also, anyone else getting a rattle from the plastic door frames when you hit a bump? At least I think it is coming from there.

As for the seat belts flapping, anyone ever just buckle them up with nobody in them. I did it on my TJ all the time to keep them from flapping and to keep the buckles from falling through the seat... i'm sure the velcro works great too, but i know i would lose them... so i'll just keep buckling up my invisible friends for now.
You can't lose the strap. Once you put it on it stays on, no need to remove it. The part that flaps is the belt running up the pillar. If you need to see a picture, let me know, I'll go out and snap one.
Edit: Here you go.

Buckling them doesn't help. They flap if you are wearing them.

The back ones dont flap because the strap runs down the front of the roll bar instead of the side.
The wind just flies right through there and it sounds like the baseball card in the spokes we all have done at some point in our lives.

Yeah, my seatbelts were flapping like crazy. I like to think of it as applause. 
I do need to get some sort of a strap, though. I'm planning all sorts of trips through the mountains this summer with the top down.

I have my old elastic/velcro blousing straps holding mine down.
