Sedan Aerodynamics

Anyone else put just the rear windows down on a sedan while cruising along? Anyone else feel like their head is going to explode and the car is going to rip in half?

Just wondering...

Sometimes I feel like the wind is going to blow me into the next lane (need lower suspension), but I haven't tried that yet.

The wind pressure its matching the resonant frequency of the inside of the car at about 75 mph with the rear windows down

I feel like a fan is 2 inches from my ear when my sedan windows are rolled down... it's soooo annoying, that's why I just roll the rears down if I want air.

if you have all 4 windows down and the sunroof open... forget your hearing. it's already gone. ... huh ??

Yes.....feels like your gonna get sucked out the window. Also I notice alot of tire noise with the windows down. I usually just leave them up.

Hell yeah, When I had my sedan I was comming home from San Diego all the windows up and then someone in the back seat put the window down and DAMN I thought the car had major problems sounded like a bass went on a killing spree lol the rear window and dynamics make one hell of a racket. Have you been doing 70mph with the front windows up and then lower the rear? yikes vibration galore
