Dropping Tailgate on Trips

I have had empty soda cans in the bed of my ranger get sucked in the rear sliding window when the gate was up. The first time I was going under a bridge and it came in bounced off the rear view mirror then my forehead and out the sliding window. Everyone thought I was crazy untill it was seen by one of my passengers. But I dont know if the negitive air pressure in the bed would couse more resistance.

To eliminate that can from coming in again, crank up your stereo with the bass on high to increase cabin pressure.
