Rear seat belts flapping violently in the wind. Is there a fix?

Seriously? Like mentioned earlier, buckle the fucking things. You didn't really need the internet to walk you through that one did you?

Didn't the OP say he tried to buckle them but it didn't help?

If you would have actually read my post it clearly stated I already tried "buckling the fucking things". But thanks for your help

Issue could be what your dealer wiped down the plastics with.
At this point, are you going to let the tape win? Or are you going to make the tape do its job?

Cool. Thanks for the advice.

Seems I'm the a/h here, my bad. I had the same issue but when bucked, gone. No further advice on this one.

id just fold the seats down.

This is what I was going to suggest as well

I pull each seatbelt around its seats headrest and buckle it in. $0

The weather finally warmed up and I got the top and doors off my bronco. I love it – EXCEPT The wind catches the rear seat belts and causes them to violently flap back-and-forth. It’s very loud and noticeable. The speed it occurs at it is variable, depending on outside wind.

I tried to buckle the seatbelt in to see if that would prevent it, but it did not stop it.

Has anyone figured out an easy fix for this?

I also had problems with the wind lifting up the OEM Ford bronco all-weather floor mats in the back seat. So I just removed those and left them in my garage.

I take and run them behind the seat then through where the seats split to fold down. Put the passenger side through the drivers side then buckle it in. Pull the belts all the way out so they lock and snug them up. I’ve Heard StickerFab has a retainer for them but I haven’t ordered them yet.

Doesn’t help they flop even worse buckled.

?? The belts are still in the same place folded or not except the center one. So not sure if this would work.

I used spiderweb design seatbelt thingies. Works perfectly.

my bad, not sure then, id just leave the back windows mostly up or all the way up. I run mine with the top off a lot and never run into this issue with the windows up

It’s when the doors are off that I have the most flop. Windows and top down not really too bad.

One thing you need to do when you buckle them is to rotate them once before you buckle. There should be a twist in the strap when they are buckled... this keeps them from sitting flat on the seats which then causes the forced air to get behind them and slam them back and forth.

Let me know if that doesn't make sense.

I was going to suggest they try this as well. Seems like a logical thing to test out.

Glad it works.
