Default annoying

passenger seat belt flaps like crazy in the wind when I'm flying solo. Anyone fix this? other than that, I'm completely satisfied except it needs exhaust and feels less racy than the old Z06, but quite a nice ride and the body lines have grown on me a lot. Everywhere I go, I get "nice car". silver doesnt look dirty. happy as a pig in ****

Actually, very easy to fix and kinda looks cool too. Simply buckle the seat belt.

My passenger seat belt rattles against the door jam plastic unless I tug the belt around the seat ballast, then it is OK even with the top down. Had the same problem with my C5 too.

I'm sure there's a lot of people that would love such annoyances. As was previously mentioned, buckle-up the unused seatbelt and find an aftermarket exhaust. I prefer Corsa but there are many to choose from. I'm glad you're happy get used to the compliments....you'll likely get many. Enjoy it!

When mine starts flapping I just raise the window about an inch. That is enough to stop it.
