Rear seatbelts flapping with top off -- how to fix?

[Bruzer22]

How do you keep the rear seatbelts from flapping with the top off?

Jason

Run the seatbelts through the headrest, buckle them, pull them all the way out so that they catch/lock with the tensioner when they retract.

Buckle them. Just an idea. Haven’t had our tops off yet.

I've tried this, it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Sounds feasible. Gonna take the tops off for the first time this weekend and try this method if they flap.

It is a design flaw and somewhat inexcusable that Ford didn’t account for this.

I don't know if it will work on the Bronco, but the straps on the Bimini Top of our pontoon boat would howl in the wind. Our dealer said twist them first before attaching the clips. It worked!! I haven't had the top off our Bronco, but it might work. Twist the buckle 2 or 3 times before connecting it and try it. Cheap fix if it works, nothing lost if it doesn't.

I installed these behind the seatbelt and it does the trick.

I had to use the supplied adhesive disk and secure with the central screw because of the high strength of the magnet.

Thank you for this free and effective solution. I’ve enjoyed driving with the whole top off for a week.

So far so good but I haven’t taken the top off yet. Just the front two roof panels

Oh sorry, I have a 4 door. I was just sharing that link because I thought it'd work for this issue.

I originally bought the Stickerfab clips and they worked fine, but when someone sat in the back or passenger's seat they would just grab the belt and pull, and the clip would come free. Just installed the gun metal weights suggested above and so far they're working very well.
