Stop all that flapping!
 
I prefer to roll with my big Monte windows down, to let everybody hate on me and the butter-soft leather.

Problem is, at about 40mph, any seatbelts not buckled start to flap against the pillar. It drives me bonkers. Have any of you experienced/solved this problem?

BONUS QUESTION:
What is your preference? Climate controlled, or wind in your hair?

Have the same thing happening to me in my 06 LT. It's annoying but i can live with it. One problem i noticed was, let me try to explain, OK where the seatbelt retracts into the pillar i noticed that the hard plastic was actually tearing at the seatbelt, so i installed some rubber tubing around the opening to protect the seatbelt, so far so good.

Wow, I thought I was the only one. My solution is to have the windows almost half-way up, this solves the problem, but I like to ride with my windows all the way down. I don't know how to stop the flapping other than to have a passenger with the seatbelt on them. When someone figures out how to fix this problem please let us know.

Bonus Question: I like the windows down and the roof open when the temp outside is between68 - 88 degrees. Anything hotter than 88 or colder than 68 means I'm letting the windows up to use climate control.

That drives me knuts in my 06LT too!! I do prefer to have the windows down though - there won't be much time to do that soon, as fall is now upon us! It was 6 degrees C this morning here(about 43F). I can't wait for Indian Summer!!
