sgtdon,

Welcome to the Forum psj. :wavey:
I have the dual panel moonroof and do not have any rattling noise. Only a little bit of wind noise. I'm not sure what you meant when you said "rear moon roof open". :scratch: Only the front panel opens. The back one is fixed.
At least it is on my 2011.

Welcome to the Forum MarinMom.:wavey:Hi,
I have a 2014 Explorer Sport (delivery date 9/6/13) and when I roll down any of the windows, above 20mph approx., I get this painful and loud worble sound. I've tried rolling the windows down different configurations and with the sunroof open or just vented and it wont stop. The dog and the kids don't like riding in the car with the windows down. The dog will get on the floor behind the driver or passenger seats now when the windows start coming down.
Has anyone had a similar problem? If so, how did you fix it or at least minimize it?
Thanks,
Chris.

It isn't just the Explorer apparently. I have a 2014 Fusion and the exact same problem! Rear windows down, even a crack at speeds starting around 30mph. I've never been in a helicopter let alone a large military model, but I imagine this is what it must be like. Frankly, the rear windows are absolutely unusable as I feel my brains are going to be sucked out of my ears. NEVER would have considered this vehicle had I experienced this in a test drive!
This is my seventh car/truck and none of them did this, no car I've ever ridden in has done this, 2dr/4dr, long/short, high/low, fast/slow.
I happen to like fresh air in the car on occasion but not in my face as would be the case with a front window open.
Who drives around with the rear windows down, anyway? This is certainly a non-issue!
I have just purchased certified pre owned explorer for the wife and yes the wind buffetting or whatever you call it is extremely annoying .I have walked around (inside)the vehicle while my wife is driving and the kids laughing at me in back.The oscillation of air pressure is so strong that it even shakes the back plastic panel on the tailgate.It happens above 40mph w/ either back window down at least a third of the way or in combination.To break the high /low pressure difference which causes a shock wave then open either front window a smidgen or more.The slip stream causes intense high pressure against very low pressure in the large cab inside.I am pissed off about it.Perhaps because of worse aerodynamics it never happened in our older grand cherokee.I doubt this happens in new jeeps.I will have to experiment w/ vent visors or something else to disrupt airflow.My wife loves her white 2012 explorer but I like the grand cherokees better.Anyone got an idea on this airflow dilemma.The designers got off easy.This would never happen @ BMW or Porsche.Real BS.If you dont open front windows then youd have to wear earmuffs unless you want to break the eardrums.Now I wish I had the moon roof.
