I'm guessing there are many ways innovate Jeep owners have found to correct this problem but this is what I found works great.
It's called Velcro one wrap which is basically a thin two sided velcro strap. The product is 4 dollars and some change for 3 pieces at Home Depot, one for each door and an extra if needed.
Velcro one wrap works perfectly and its the same color as the interior fabric so it doesn't look out of place. You just wrap in around the roll bar and seat belt just tight enough so that the belt can move and presto no flutter.
Hope this helps someone, if this has already been done before....then never mind.
I like that idea! I'm running a shoulder strap pad on mine right now for the same effect. The pad causes the seat belt to not retracton its own though. Do you have that same problem with your solution?

Going to the depot tomorrow to pick it up. Had the doors off for the first time today and the seatbelt chatter was mildly irritating. Thanks for the idea!
Actually, I've only noticed the flutter when the doors are off. My wife wasn't crazy about driving around with the doors off, so I found a set of brand new Warrior doors on Craigslist for $250. The belts don't flutter with the Warrior doors on and everything else opened / off.
Great idea! My wife complained about the noise today. I just turned the stereo up. I was going to the garage tomorrow to see what I could tie the strap down with. I've used that Velcro One Wrap before, for other stuff. I may still have some laying around.
I hit up HD today and have wrapped my B-pillars. Now I just need a sunny day to put theory to practice. (I also was having a retraction issues with the seat belt pads but it was better than the incessant fluttering...)

LoCo, you are da man!!! I picked up some straps at Lowes yesterday and the annoying flutter is gone. Thanks so much for stopping the flutter that was driving me out of my mind!
