Now that the weather is nicer.... I like to drive with the windows open.

If I open the rear windows.... at a measly 35mph..... that center seatbelt starts VIOLENTLY and LOUDLY slapping the rear seat..... continuously.

So far, the only solution is to (sloppily) stuff the seatbelt into the center armrest while it folded up.

Anyone else? There has to be a simple solution to this.

Got a real laugh out of your post! The only thing I've seen is where you buckle it into the furthest away receptacle so it puts tension on it and hope for the best.
