Default xA rear window air buffetting

when I roll the rear windows down a few inches, with the front windows closed, going 50-60 mph, I get a wind buffetting noise from the rear windows. If I open the front, the buffetting stops. Like equalizing the preasure. Nothingg happens when only the front windows are down. Any similar experiences? TIA Mark S.

Yea that happens all the time. Happened in my '92 SL1, '03 Saturn Vue, '86 Camero, and my '99 Minivan. My point is you will find this in almost any car you buy now. It is not just the XA. And it also happens in my new XA.

Yeah, common in many small cars, get it in my xB. Gotta crack both windows. I find that it smooths out the airflow over just having the front open too.

Now, one of you electronic gurus needs to design a controller that would roll they front/back windows down evenly. That would be trick...
