Curiously I rolled the windows down at highway speeds, and I instantly joined a subwoofer contest….
I rolled the front first (I have yet to trust elc. Windows and auto trans). The wind buffeting through the cab was unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed in a vehicle. It would have ruined my dog. The concussive pressure was bonkers @75mph. The front doors were like a speaker. I documented it and rolled up windows. After my ears adjusted to the comfort of silence; I noticed a rattle coming for door. I think it may be wiring to the keypad. Not sure.
just an FYI. Don’t do this.

Yes it’s the worst of any car I’ve ever owned. The term is buffeting.

I’m wondering if window deflectors might help. Also may try the Toyota Supra door guard trick.

Even at low speeds if you open other windows it’s crazy!!! My kids did it on the freeway and it was so painful.
