Default Quiet your rear seatbelts...

My rear seatbelt were noisey with the top down, and I was looking for a way to quiet them down from buzzing in the wind.
I pulled up the metal buckle, and tucked it in behind the securing strap, and voila...quieter seat belts.
It worked up to over 80 mph, and then started to vibrate again, but it is such an easy and free fix that I thought it should be shared.

PS It felt great to have the top down the day after Christmas. 70º and Sunny today in San Diego.

Great tip! I figure that since no human above two feet can fit in the back seat and that I am certainly not sitting back there, I would eliminate them. I haven't noticed any noise so I haven't broken out the scissors yet. I will try your tip first though.

Aloha,

Toplex, I am moving to San Diego in the Oct timeframe. Although I will miss Hawaii and the wonderful driving here, I know that San Diego is a beautiful city. Looking forward to it.

Welcome to San Diego. Lots of fantastic roads here, and terrific weather. Will be driving to Pasadena today to spend night with friends and going to Rose Parade in the morning. Will have top down all the way, and navigation system should take us right up to the door of their new house.

Can't beat spending NewYears day TOPLESS.

Mele Keleke Maka! (Little late on that, but it is the only Hawaiian I know besides ALOHA, and poi.
