I think that's how it's supposed to be. Also never shut your door with the window down. I thought i actually broke my window.

I don't think that effect was intedned but it's caused by the shape of the car and air pressure on the window opening. With the windows part way down I feel a pressure pulse in my ears at freeway speeds. That is the only complaint I have with my xA.

I think the seatbelt needs to be adjusted...my only complaint is at freeway speeds, that damn seatbelt flapping in my ear vigorously. :?

As far as the window is concerned may wanna take your door panel off and check it out. You may have a loose window fastener or screw. It shouldnt be slamming like that over a speedbump.

the rear windows are wobbly in my car... if i got them rolled part way down and i start going over some bumps they start banging back and forth. maybe it's just the window slot being too big for the window?
