Wind Buffeting

[bestyjny]

Because of air noise.

This might sound like a stupid question but why do you want to drive with the rear windows open?.

kids open them sometimes or used to I should say. Now we don't let them because of the noise. However front windows' wind buffeting alone is uncomfortable too.

I know what you mean, I used to drive around all the time in my old MK6 Golf R with the front drivers window down and it wasn't until you got to about 100km/h that it started to get painful on the ears. In the new Tiguan however I find that usually by 50-60km/h it starts getting uncomfortable. If I have the drivers window down then I find lowering the rear window slightly makes a big difference to the buffeting noise. I very rarely have anyone in the back of my car so isn't an issue back there. I had wondered if the plastic wind deflectors would make any difference but not sure if I like the look of them on the car:

Thanks for the suggestion. I saw them being mentioned in another forum as the only solution but I'm not sure if I like the look of them either.

Would be good to also confirm that they will make a difference to the buffeting noise as I don't want to order a set if that aren't going to fix this.

This guy says only installing the front pair fixed it for him (for the old tiguan)

time to buy some slimline windshields I think. The booming noise is unbearable. You shouldn't need to crack another window to get rid of the noise

Might hit my mate up for some for free and see what he says

Please let me know if it works (and how it looks)
