There should be a warning for newbies about driving with the rear window open and a dirty bed, like, picking up sod at Lowes and unload at the house, took of for some lunch, now the inside of the truck looks like the bed. Grass and sand everywherehttp://www.ramforum.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Rookie Move. Always open your sunroof or window to keep positive outward flow. ;-)

If I have my rear slider open only, everything's fine. It's when I crack my drivers window while rear slider is open that the wind comes in thru the back.

anyone with CCs notice when you drive with all four side windows down you get air buffeting noise in the back? annoying. i noticed it on the test drive, but i now just drive with the rear side windows open a couple inches.

Heh, yeah learned that the hard way myself :word:

Same thing happens in the QC's. Just crack the rear window an inch or so and buffeting goes away.

That thing that comes with the truck when it's new....I think it's called an owners manual....mentions it and how to avoid it.

Hmmm. I open my sunroof to vent and open the rear window fully, and It seems to come in the back window and go out the roof. Last week I was smacked in the side of the head by at least 4 acorns, and my poor radio took a few hits too. :roflsquared:

Yeah. Like someone would expect to find something like that in the owner's manual...

Almost exactly what I thought when I read it
