tab top of windows
So....everyone posts pics and I see there is a small tab on the top of their windows along the seal. What is this? My window seals dont seem to be in the best of shape...but I dont have these on either side of my car.

Rumor has it they keep the windows stable at triple-digit speeds.

They don't work on mine. Right at 100 mph, the negative pressure pulls the windows open. The wind noise really exaggerates the feeling of speed, and detracts from the confidence in the car.
But, that's what the tabs are suppose to prevent.

I don't know about preventing it, but you can stave it off by indexing the top of the window inward. I did that to mine and it's less bad, but anymore the only time I go that fast is on track and since the windows are required to be down on track, I don't notice unless I'm in a pissy mood on the way to work and decide to smoke a dozen cars in the face of oncoming traffic. When I first got the car, I noticed it on the test drive. I made the sales guy go out with me so I could hear where it was coming from, because it didn't sound like it was coming from the top of the window. I told him it happened at 70, then I said let's try 80, then 90, then I said nevermind. . .
