Wind Buffeting

rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with

together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs
with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to
minimize the buffeting or open any window.

Use only a nonabrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean
the glass panel.
