We have a 52 estate which we are really pleased with but when the kids open the rear windows, there is an awful air noise in the cabin (sounds a bit like a flat tyre).

Anyone else have this?

Lucky you - ours whistles around the front windows with them up!

If you lower one of the other windows slightly it should stop this. As for as I know its to do with air presure building up in the car.

You can buy air deflectors that will stop this, they are avilable from Skoda.

Hello.

Out of curiosity - does it happen with both rear windows open? We only have the one sprog in the car so only ever get the one window down. To ease the noise/vibration I lower the same side front window until I get fed up and put the A/C on instead.

Cheers.

This happens with a lot/most 4/5 door cars if one of the rear windows is down, my old Pug 405 was very prone to it and the Fabia vRS is worse (maybe smaller cabin volume = potentially higher air pressure for given speed). Various hire cars I've had also exhibit same to varying degrees.

Open another window or request very kindly that the little darlings shut the rear window in question please. (Politically correct version - may in practice be worded slightly differently by harassed/stressed out parent.)

Hi guys

No, it will do it with either one open. Very weird.

Yup, that's what we are doing!
