Default Rear Seatbelt "Slapping" Annoyance

Does anyone else have an issue with the rear seatbelt slapping the seat when all the windows are rolled down? If so, do you have any workarounds for this besides the obvious leaving them up (or halfway up)? It seems to only be the middle seatbelt and I've went as far as keeping it buckled but it still slaps the seat. My GF's Q5 seems to do the same thing as well.

I have the exact same issue. No resolution so far but I'd love to hear from others.

I tried sliding the latch part all the way to the top of the seat but the belt still slaps to the point of leaving black residue on the seat.

Yes I have this problem. Yes it is super annoying. No I do not have a good solution. The front passenger belt also clanks against the B-pillar often with windows down. *sigh*

I used a few pieces of double sided tape distributed along the length of the seatbelt, and that seemed to do the trick with no residue left on the seat. I'll have to reapply it sometime though, since some poor soul was forced to ride in the middle seat a few weeks ago. As long as nobody ever rides in that seat, this will do the trick.

Buckle the middle seat belt then tuck the diagonal/chest belt behind the rear center arm rest. May not look pretty but it stops the slapping.
