Ever experience Helmholtz Resonance with your vehicle? I have and it's not a pleasant experience. Likely not good for your vehicle's headliner either.
At highway speed, a front seat passenger opened the window and the effect on the Driver's side was a vibrating Wub, Wub, Wub. I remember experiencing that as a kid, and over the years, when somebody opened the rear windows.

Explained: That Weird Throbbing When You Open One Car Window

Hey Jeepman, you are risking to be called dumb, but then again, you might not just because you are a SUPER MODERATOR and you know how some of those guys are.

Agreed.
Saying it does is one of the dumbest things I have heard in a while.

Good luck! :oops:

By the way, I couldn't have said it better myself (Actually I could.....). :)
