Question Seat Belt and Rear Window Area Turbulence
With all four windows down and at speeds over +/-45 mph are any of you guys experiencing where the seat belt really starts flapping around on your shoulder? I also notice/hear quite a bit of turbulence in the rear window area at speeds over +/-65 mph with all four windows down. I have not experienced this in any previous pillarless coupes.

CLK W209
My CLK also has the issue, but only when people are seated in the back, at above 50mph, the belts flap occasionally.

Yes, odd for cars that are supposed to be quietest in their class...I'm starting to get used to it.
