Question Flapping seat belt in CLK 500 Cab

I have very few nits to pick with my 2005 CLK 500 Cab, but one of them concerns the seatbelt flapping on my shoulder with the top down at speeds greater than 40 mph. Raising the window about 4 inches above the doorsill eliminates 90% of it. I have noticed other makers' cabs with the same setup have a strap on the top of the seatback that holds the belt in place and prevents this problem. Does anyone have any other comments, ideas or solutions?

this happens in the coupe too with the windows down and the sunroof open. i think its a design flaw. everyone has this problem, a car magazine even made a remark about it.
