    I like to drive with the windows down and sunroof open now that the weather's nice, but any time it's windy outside or I'm going faster than about 40mph, the passenger side seat belt flaps against the panel like a machine gun. It doesn't seem to matter if I move the buckle up or down, it still happens. Anyone come up with any kind of solution to this?

    I got nothing. I've actually never experienced this, with many trips sunroof and all windows down, from 30-80 mph.

    Figure out where the buckle is on the B-pillar and stick a Ø3/4" X .250" rare earth magnet on the inside of the plastic. Comes loose when you give it a yank and will stay where it's supposed to.

    I usually leave the passenger window up about halfway because you actually get more breeze that way. I learned this when the AC quit on my '03. :D

    Otherwise, whenever I have something rattling, I just keep opening and closing windows until it stops.

    This looks like the most interesting option. I'll give this a shot and see if it helps. Thank you!
