I drive with both windows down all the time on the highway and around town. No buffeting at any speeds.

I do have the sunroof and tend to crack it at an angle when I roll the windows down, so that may make a difference.

I'm sure seat position and amount of recline angle on the seat has a lot to do with it.

do you have a rear seat delete or did you just remove the rear seat?

I have experienced this effect in sedans with only the back windows down, but it's easily resolved by lowering the front windows.

I've owned a 1997 Camaro, 2000 Corvette, and 2003 Cobra, and have NEVER experienced wind buffeting with the windows down.

Are there any good solutions to this problem? I don't have a sunroof to open so that's not an option.
Not me. I do with one up and one down. Is it possible its the front seat positioning. I swear I don't any at all on my 17' if both windows are down or in the same position.

Just removed the seat. With the back upright portion it's noticeable here and there. Remove both and it's much more noticeable.

They all do it. It's the cars design..
If you crack the pass window it will alleviate it.

Get on the fwy with only your drive window fully down and you'll see lol. It's also where the driver sits. Where the wind can get disrupted and break up the pressure before it wofts into the car and makes the noise.

I drive with both windows down pretty much all the time and have the back seat always folded down as well.


The only time I have ever noticed buffeting occur is after I have someone ride in the car with me and they adjust the seat. I usually have to move the entire seat forward a little and the buffeting stops.


I have a coupe with no sunroof.
