Vibration when Rear Pasenger Window Down

I read on one of the vibration posts that the truck shook hard when the rear window was down. So I put one rear passenger window down in my Screw and it shook like the dickens from the wind buffeting as the speed increased. Anybody else get that with their Screws? I normally just have some nibble at highway speeds, which I have not taken it in for yet.

I think that's pretty common. Mine does it to. Even does it with the moonroof opened all the way. You can crack a window to relieve the pressure.

It's called buffeting.Crack one of your front windows and it will go away.

I have experienced wind buffeting in other vehicles, but it was always more of the harsh sound of the wind making sort of a flapping noiseand not a shaking of the vehicle.

Whitenight, thanks, and I know what you are saying works. I was really more interested in whether the hard shaking of the truck was experienced by others when the rear window was down. I never experienced that before with other vehicles.

I have the same issue in my SuperCrew, as I also did in my 02 Mountainer (Explorer). Kinda bothers me, but I got over it. I just don't roll down the back, without venting the front.

Cab Pressure

That "whopping" noise you get and almost feel is actually insuffecient cab air not escaping through the air release vents located in door jams. This even goes back to the 92' explorers. Its kinda like when windows are up and you slam a door hard, some people feel the pressure in their ears. That immediate cab air pressure is suppose to escape through the door jam vents. Simular to that. Yeah, no fix other than cracking a front window open.

I don't think there is a new vehicle on the road that doesn't do this. My Jetta did it. Our Liberty does it to the point that it actually hutst your ears. One of the manuals actually addresses this and gives a remedy...Crack the front windows.
