Has Anyone Driven At Freeway Speeds With Just The Back Windows Down?

It feels like the car is gonna fall apart. I was drivin 65ish with all my windows down, and my girl called. I rolled up the front windows and it **** near shook the car apart. Why does it do that????

A lot of cars do that. It's some sort of buffeting from the wind passing by the open rear windows. Some cars, I suppose depending on the shape, do it more than others. Just roll them up.

That goes back for at least 20+ yr with all the cars I see everyday..

Yup, My dad had 1975 528 Beemer that did exactly that - Scared the **** out of me when it happened (that would make it 35+ years ;-)

A good way to reduce the buffetting while airing out the cabin is to roll down the windows diagonally. Roll down the driver's front window and the passgenger side rear window, or vice versa. The wind will have a natural path to follow, and there will be very little buffetting even at freeway speeds.

Does it on this car and my Jeep. Worse is when my kid rolls down just one of the rear windows.

Ditto on my 2002 Nissan Altima!
