I have them on my LB and yes they do work to minimize or eliminate the wind buffering.

Car going fast creates a spot of low pressure, open the window, and now you created low pressure at that window. High pressure air from outside the car is literally pushed into the window. I suspect there is a point at which the high pressure blows into the car so much that it creates an imbalance in the opposite way and the pendulum then has to swing back (hi-pressure in car now, air blows back out)... and this goes back and forth fairly quickly thus causing a similar sensation to hearing an amazing subwoofer setup playing 5-10hz tones. You feel pressure on your ears, but don't really hear the sound (yes, there is some sound, but you don't hear the 5-10hz tones). |

I haven't dug far enough into my sedan to find out if there are slam valves in there anywhere; if I find them, I will wedge them wide open, should help. Meantime, I manage the row with window adjustment, which is of no value to 3-door drivers.
Ideally, I would put vents into the rear pillars: not only would that help the wind noise, but it would add a LOT to the efficiency of the heat/vent system. I can't believe that Toyota didn't use that old cure, my buddy's Cortina had those vents, and the heat/vent system was second to none! |
