Yes, in a high cross wind. I try to tuck and stretch the flap as much as I can down into the space between the seat and the top. I have had the parachute effect happen more than once out on the highway. frown

Poor design on GM's part. Should have had a channel or clip system (like other Mfr's had) for the flap.


I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
