irritating noise over 30 mph

[jndrobel]

Can samebody with a 2003 4runner try this. Roll down both the left and right rear windows. Leave the front and back cargo windows rolled up. Drive over 30 mph. In my 4runner, an unbearable sound/vibration develops that I believe is caused by the way the wind is interacting with the lowered windows. I am trying to figure out if this is some sort of design flaw. All I know is right now I cannot have the back windows all the way down.

Thanks for your help!

Most SUV style vehicles have this "feature".

The worst I've experienced? A Toyota Highlander!!!!

(Maybe it's a feature that Toyota works on )

Yup, this happens in my '02 4runner too. Nature of the beast...actually, nature of many SUV beasts!
