Finally got a couple of sunny days in between weeks of daily rain, here in CT. Unpleasantly surprised when I rolled down the window and had my seatbelt on, the belt was making a very laud noise and just flapped a bit. What is the solution for this? I would prefer to wear my seatbelt while I am on the highway, but can't stand that flapping noise.

 

I think it happens on all of them at higher speeds. I don't like my windows open at speeds higher than 60 anyway. I like to hear what is going on with the car, if something was to happen.

 

Try giving the belt a half twist over your shoulder. This sometimes helps.

 

Hi...


Maybe one of those sealtbelt shoulder pads will stop it... ?


Dave...

 

I have found that if you only put the windows down half way the flapping noise is much reduced, at least to the point of not bugging the hell out of me.

 

Try lowering the Pass window too, to alter the air-flow.

 

Also- switching from recirc/non-recirc may help

 

having both windows open does kill the seat belt flap but it creates an evil vortex which will remove any non secured items from the boot (trunk) even a quite heavy one today my jacket headed for the passenger window at 80mph!

 

i know what you mean. almost lost my bowling ball last night. :lol:

 

Gain a lot of weight to take all of the slack out of the belt! :lol:

 

I usually have both windows down to the point where the angled leading edge just meets the top of the base....and I am going to experiment with a small deflector installed at the leading edge at some time.
