It means I live in the northern portion of the state. It "sems" to me that you just like to start trouble.

Wish the rear fixed windows could be opened. With the panorama roof opened up all the way and the windows closed you get the wind buffeting.

My MB ML430 had a similar roof and you could crack open (power) the rear windows which would eliminate the buffeting when you had it all the way open and the windows up.

Others have commented that the windows should all be open if the roof is - yes, that does eliminate it. However, on the highway that won't always work for me.

The other option is to install an air deflector.

Does anyone know if an air deflector eliminates all the wind buffeting when the roof is all the way open and the side windows are up all the way?

Thanks

Hey, I wasn't losing any sleep over it. Wasn't aware of a BF in NC. Sometimes it is a little slow around here...

Do you know why you are moaning about your fuel? Because you HAD to buy the 4.8i. Get a diesel 3.0 for god sake. What do you expect?
