Default Too much wind......

I've got a problem. When I let my two front windows down while driving my Cayenne I am nearly blown out of the car. It is annoying! Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know of a solution?

Thanks!

Open a rear window about 4" - should be fine.

Thanks! Henna - Rolling the rear windows down about 4" helps. Not perfect, but much better. Charlie - The BOP!BOP!BOP! is pretty awful with the moonroof open. I had tried that before and it wasn't what I was looking for. Grssy - I can't hear the tunes with all that wind. PDX - Just shut up!

You're welcome

I found that slight adjustment to the rear windows up and/or down from the 4" starting point can "tune" the wind noise to almost nothing. Also, try just one rear window (passenger side seems best). Must have been designed that way, right?

Most cars with good seals suffer from both of the problems described. MB has the exact same issue for example.

Drivers window open, open rear 3/4 inches
Sunroof Open, open both rears 3/4 inches

No need to open the rear hatch....the microswitch will likely open it for you, especially if subjected to loud accoustic vibration.
