Does anyone know if vent shades will change the terrible buffeting condition when driving with windows down?
Or have you a better solution?

NO They change nothing......really only the back windows bother!

When I had the tapeon type I had it but its not as bad with the inchannel style and Iv found a solution to the buffeting with mine is when I have the drivers side down, I lower the right rear slightly and it seems to quit.

If you have a sliding rear window open it and that takes care of the problem. That power rear window is too cool.

I never open my windows, too many pacaninnies around here!

crack your back seat drivers side window if your drivers window is all the way down and problem solved. I think thats in the owners manual too.

just reach back there and open the slider - especially if the weather is like it was the other weekend

It is funny you should mention this!
Just yesturday I was driving with the drivers side window down and decided to drop the left rear window also...BINGO...buffeting all but disappeared.

Better yet-- install a nice new power sunroof

Reach "back"? I just reach towards the dash and push the button. Presto-Chango, the rear window goes open. Should be standard equipment on a QC. No one's arm's are that dang long.


The buffeting problem seems to get worse as the cars/trucks get more aerodynamic. Seems like any time I have the drivers side window down and cracka any other of the 5 windows the buffeting goes away, I have a sunroof and a rear slider in my QC. Opening another window allows the air pressure in the cab to not build up, which causes causing the buffeting.

OR Mega Cab

My Mega Cab is horrible when the front windows are both closed and one rear window is open about 5" and the other is open about 10". It sounds and feels like a dang chopper is in the cab with me.

I was curious if there is any fix other than don't set the windows in those positions?
