Seatbelt mod?

oneintheory · 02-03-2009, 12:00 AM

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but here goes...

I drive a 135 vert, and I always have the top down. When I have the wind deflector and windows down, the wind (at 50+ mph) causes the drivers seatbelt to flap uncontrollably against my shoulder.

What I was thinking was that a seatbelt clip that somehow connected to the headrest poles would fix the problem, but I have neither the means nor the inclination to create such a contraption. Ideas?

You mean something like this?

I've got those clips.....not that impressed with them. The belt gets bunched up inside that clip and does not retract easily. They are not as helpful as I had hoped.
