Dollar store Velcro straps. Stretchy so they don't interfere but enough to stop the flap.

Yep I have some of the wider velcro ones that I dont use anymore. Figured if I use 2-3 of them on each side then that might work

Free solution to the doors off flapping (that is if you work in or near an Operating Room)





Folded OR towel and a large binder clip. Keeps the flapping to a minimum and comes in handy for spills, blood etc. Who doesn't need another place to store a rag?

My problem with the seat belt cushion idea, is that they would not allow the seat belt to retract cleanly. This was my biggest problem. The folded towel will allow the seat belt to slide freely enough to work as normal.

Still allows the belt to slide when you put your seat belt on.
Same solution I use. GREAT IDEA!!!

I work in orthopaedic surgery so sometimes a fair bit. Usually it's more for cleaning up spills/unexpected rain.
