Who here always rides with their windows down?

Im guessing you would not know if you have back interior, but I am not as fortunate b/c I have the tan. If you have the tan, does your rear of the car get super filthy? Mine is so nasty. Like is I run my hand around where the top of the headrest is on the back seats, I get like black dirt all over my hands. Also the capeted lid back there, and like the material on the sub grill turns dust black as well. Its so hard to get back there and clean that stuff. Is it a ***** to get that thing out to clean. Does this happen to any of you or is it only by dirty ass town?

I'm guessing the humidity in FL is contributing to the dirt sticking to the interior of your car..

I always roll down the windows when driving.. but I don't have a black int..

it does seem to get dusty too..

I like to ride with my windows cracked or down about 80% of the time if the weather is right. Sure, my insides get a little nasty, but its nothing the a little leather cleaner and elbow grease won't get rid of, right?

Nothing out of the ordinary here. Then again I hardly drive with the windows down (FULL AUTO ). Just the occassional sunroof.

Maybe its because im young, but I hardly ever use AC. Maybe Im just being a punk and like to show off my system. Really it deceases some of the interior rattling if they are down, so that is a main reason.

Dude, dirt is everywhere..when you roll the window down and you are living where it is dry and lots of dusks, expect those sh*t to get into your car. There is a solution..it's call CLEANING!!!

Sunroof tilted open and climate control on. If its a great day that is not too hot, the sunroof open.

I ride with my front windows down. I have a fern green interior, so it's not so bad. My friend had a tan interior and, as a b-day present, I detailed his car. He always drives with his windows down. Needless to say, I'm never volunteering to detail anyone else's car!!! I swear, I always thought the fabric above his seats was grey!!!

Snowstorm here the last couple of days...windows down? Gotta be kidding. On those rare nice Cleveland days (200+ cloudy days/year! Ain't it a *****!), climate control--FULL AUTO is king--and vented sunroof for me.

i almost always drive with my windows closed. i never like to open them up, too noisy. i do use the moonroof quite a bit though.

maybe in summer time i open it up when going local but that's all
