Buffeting Noise

[Ammo123165]

2019 Ram 1500 Super Cab - with rear passenger window down, 55mph, wind buffeting causes driver door and glass to vibrate violently. Afraid it will cause damage to window mechanism. Hate to have to put down front window to stop this. Anyone know of a cure? I rode in a dealer demo truck with same problem but not near as violent.

They all do it. Open the rear slider a hair.

Welcome to the forum!

Yup, they all do it, normal. Other vehicles do as well, its not just Ram. I am told it means the aerodynamics are decent (for a truck anyway), so its not a bad thing. I always crack the back window or the sunroof; if its bad enough, I open them half way or more. Gets rid of it.

Would window visors help this?

One of the options that comes standard with all vehicles is the Helmholtz Resonator.

Crack a few of the other windows open a bit (the sliding rear helps greatly) until the pressure equalizes.
