Fixing seatbelt slap with Triple Seven design air deflector

[Japeatr]

I got annoyed by the seatbelt whipping the seat when driving with the window down. picked up the 777 Design air deflector to eliminate the noise, works well.

Heres a video I made showing the problem, the install, and the cure!~

Do they slap even when you have them in the straps?

My car sounds like the window is down all the time with the way wind goes by the driver's door. How's the wind noise with these installed and did you ever notice that noise before?

it is better with exception of my biggest pet peeve of the car - above 110mph the window looses its seal and wind noise is crazy until i roll it all the way down and back up again

There's an easy fix for that.

Rather have the "slap" than those ugly ass things attached to my Mustang.

Would rolling up the window a little similarly do the same thing??

How about just buckling the seat belt?

I don't have my car yet but have had the issue on others. With my 4 series BMW it was the rear belts. Nobody ever sits back there so just tucking them between the seat back and trim panel solved it. It will bother me if the Mustang Convertible I just ordered does it, but I will figure something else out. The look of the stick-ons just isn't something I would do. Still though, the engineer in me is impressed. Thedesigner in me has reservations.

I had to add something similar to my Zupra to reduce the cabin turbulence and thrumming when the windows were down. They worked fine and weren't nearly as large as those pictured here.

To reduce the noise in the Mustang, I just raise the passenger window a few inches, and it takes care of the thrumming, and I haven't noticed any belt flapping. Fortunately, my track time so far has all been with the windows up.
