Wind noise after opening rear windows
If you're going about 40mph+ and open the two rear windows only, it makes a really weird (repetitive thumping) noise, then I open the front windows a bit and it seems to go away.
Did some more research in the forums and it seems to be a common problem for a lot of folks, this was the "fix" that someone wrote about, anyone can confirm/deny?!
"It seems the dealer has fixed the wind noise issue. First they replace the door seal but the noise was still there. Then they decided to replace the chrome door trim above the window and that seemed to fix the problem. The district sales manager drove my car so the issue has been documented and they seemed to have fixed the problem. No more wind noise."
Thanks a lot!

This is common for just about any car. The air is captured in the car and bangs on the rear screen. It can hurt your ears - not like permanent or anything . Paid goes away when you wind up the windows. Far worse in a staton wagon.
Cans see how they fixed that one!!
