Default Seatbelt FLAPPING noise

Please tell me i dont have the only jeep in America that does this ...its kinda annoying with the windows down but when you go doorless an topless its Horrible....the part of the seatbelt that goes from the shoulder bracket down to the floor that part of the seatbelt does some horrible flapping around....only thing i can think of is tucking it behind the lever that adjust the back of the seat...............


Anybody got any ideas?...

I went to Walmart and picked up a roll of velcro and wrapped it around the column and the seat belt right above where the plastic ends on the column. It helped for the flapping with the windows down. Not so much when you have the doors off but then i just tucked it on the handle that adjusts the seat back.

Attached are the pics...

Still allows the belt to slide when you put your seat belt on.

My flapping was up higher so I didn't even think about that. I like it

Same here with the velcro straps.

Allows belt to move and holds in place while eliminating the flap

one of the other thread on this suggested boot blousers from an Army Navy store. Worked like a charm for me.
