Cabrio Help

As I was driving home today from work I noticed a loud flapping sound. The top was down. At first I thought it was the Mini Tags on the seats, but I held them and the sound persisted. It was coming from the passenger side. Any ideas?

Although I don't have a convertible, my best guess is that it is the unfastened seatbelt flapping in the wind. Mine does this when the windows are down, at times. Just adjust the seatbelt buckle to see if that solves the problem. Good luck.

I agree that it could be the seatbelts. Latch up the backseat belts, criss-crossing them, and see if that helps! Best wishes and enjoy your new baby!

It's the seat belt on the passenger side. Have heard it also. Either live with it or get a passenger
