Ive recently bought a 2006 V8 Vantage coupe & have noticed a lot of buffeting noise when the divers side or passenger side window is much more that 1/4 open. Anyone else having this &/or know how to stop it.

Yep. Open the other window slightly and it goes away ....

Or don't open either and keep the aircon on smile

(This happens with a lot of cars - something to do with the ability to circulate air in the cabin when you introduce an additional volume of it).

I find if I open the window 1/2 way, and give it 7000 revs through 1st/2nd/3rd gear, then the buffetting gets drowned out smile
