How do you guys that are doorless keep your seatbelt from flapping in the wind? I was half deaf the other day from the seatbelt.

I cut mine out. Seat belts are for wimps.

Just kidding. Try fastening one when the seat is unoccupied.

They make a clip that you screw to the panel behind the seatbelt. I have power everything n got some plugs from summit and it takes ab 30 secs to take em off.

Wouldn't the plugs get in the way off the door closing

Takes longer to install and line them up.

So far I haven't had any problems to complain about. I still have to drill out the brackets to 3/8" to stop the sagging.

I took a piece of sheet metal about 2x2 in square cut a hole in it the size of my plug, a 12 plug connector, n mounted it over the original hole n there is plenty of room for the door to close. I will post pictures jn the morning.

I have the same problem. I was planning on getting those sheepskin "seatbelt pads" that are supposed to make it more comfortable but I was going to put them on the part that runs against the B pillar.

Also Peter93xj what do you mean you have to drill out to 3/8 to stop sagging? I was going to weld bushings to the hinge to eliminate the sag but if there is a better way I'd love to hear it.
