So....On my Jeep with the top and doors off, the unused seatbelts flaps in the wind creating an annoying noise at certain speeds. Easily fixed with Velcro straps...anyone know if the same will happen with Bronco seatbelts?

Is this similar to "The last person to post on the thread wins"?

EDIT:. Yes, because of airflow and physics the loose seatbelt will probably flap somewhat.

By studying the Wrangler for years, Ford was able to engineer the Bronco to avoid long standing Jeep frustrations. Case in point: with the Bronco, the seat belts are attached to the door. Remove the doors and no more flapping!

no the Bronco seatbelts retract into the roll bar as not to flap. Ford was all over that issue.

The flapping has been proven to increase gas milage by 10%, so it’s actually intentional.

How could any of us answer this?
By analyzing and re-analyzing videos, by looking at interior and spotting engineering flaw designs, by an insider that has driven it? If people here can spot tiny paint particle differences.....well??
