Yeah, like the other guy said, we've hijacked your thread-sorry. But that flat windshield & boxy make up isn't aerodynamic. As the air moves over the cab, it doesn't flow away gracefully, like in a Jaguar. It gets turbulent & tumbles. Like riding in the back of a station wagon & the driver rolls the back window down, the exhaust is shoved into the back by the turbulence. In a pick-up, say you just unloaded some dirt/crap. With the tailgate up, or down, the debris left over doesn't fly out, you will notice a lot of said debris is at the front of the bed, next to the cab. Same idea with the exhaust. No studies, stats, or scientific theory, just what happens.Since there is information and facts on this, at what speed does the exhaust get pushed out? Not sure why it would ever be 'sucked' 'into the cabin, any real explanation there? I get it running up the tail gate and some making its way into the cabin, but how does it get sucked in? Just curious since this is such a concern, id like to know more about the statistics of this and not just "it comes in and its a major issue". And yes, the back corner may move slightly, ive seen that, but nothing of worth. Ive one 80 and no issue, it wasnt flapping in the wind or anything of that nature. Its pretty secure, you'd have to have the bottom lip and front lip get loose, then the velcro in the front unlatch, then for it to slide off the top track in order to lose it. But anyone thats put them on knows they are very snug.
Anyway, we got the Mopar bag. Overpriced. I'm sure you can find a good bag for at least half of the Mopar. In our first couple Jeeps, we just used old beach blankets and rolled them up...
