    Yesterday I had my 812 a little over 140 mph when all of a sudden I had a loud rush of air from the drivers window like someone put it down a bit. Sort of caught me off guard. When I slowed, it sealed itself. I never had that happen before. Anyone else ever had this happen?

    Yes. I just wish I could remember the car. But it was a Ferrari, and I discovered I had to make 100% sure the windows were always all the way closed before any super high speed driving. Even if the window is 99.9% up, that last little bit allows the air to get in and push it down a bit.

    Also refrain from raising the window when it is already closed and quiet while the car is in motion. Many times, that will lead to air whooshing sound from the window until the the door is opened and closed again while stopped. So if it's ain't "broken," don't try to fix it.

    Just reading this 2+ years on from 1st post. This occur to me in my FF at betw140-155mph, kinda scared me for second as I wondered if it was wind screen or pano roof . I backed off gas pedal, lowered windows a tad then back up and that resealed it.
