I was driving down the highway one day shorty after purchasing my Xb, and I wanted to do a lil crusing, ya know roll down the windows, blear the music so the pseron 5 cars back can feel the bass (oh sorry, have a system in it at this time) but it was a lil too nippley for that. So i figured i'd just roll down the rear windows and crank the heater!

well needless to say once i rolled down the windows, the was a great oressure oscillation in my Xb. i was like WTF? i could fix the prob by cracking the front windows but sometime i just want the back ones down. Any fixes? beisdes rolling down the front ones? Like any aftermarket plasic window stripping, or anything? I was figureing i might be able to remove the one way vents just inside the platic paneling in the rear of the car and that might allow the air to escape rather then build up. Any ideas guys?

 

I don't think the vents are big enough to help. You'd probably have to take the rear door off to make a difference. Lots of cars do that, sunroofs too. Just too much air flowing in. Gotta just crack the fronts. I can't really picture cruising with just the backs open. I know my kids love to roll the windows down and catch the breeze so i just have to pop the fronts too.

In fact, if I only have the front open, it tends to hit me with more wind. I have gotten into the habit of just cracking both, its nicer.

Here's what I want. An add-on to the power windows that would roll them all down evenly. That would rock...

Also, if the rear windows would vent outward, that would probably stop the buffeting too...

I wonder if these would help? Probably only if the windows were only down slightly...

 

they do help. I was in my friends xB the other day and he had those. it was like 2 in the morning and he rolled down the windows a lil under the shades and there was no wind getting inside. it's very nice.

I like the look of those window visors. I am in the Raleigh, NC area. Where do you think I could get some??
