Default Drooping rear window at freeway speeds

So when I am crusing at freeway speeds (65-80) and I roll a window or 2 down the rear window in my softtop sucks in or droops an inch or two.

Enough so that when looking in m rearview mirror I go from seeing clearly out the rear window to seeing about an inch or 2 of my black top instead.

I took it to the dealership and they put a new top on the car under warranty but it still happens

Another local owner has an 06 and having the same problem. The dealer is replacing his top too because of that and a couple of small tears begining.

I've never had this problem on either of my previous s2ks. Has anyone else had this problem or has any idea what's causing it?

Does the same thing on my car, and seems like it should on every car. Pressure changes from when the window is closed to when it is open (sometimes my ears pop when I go from windows down to windows up. . .I imagine if its enough of a change for me to notice, its enough of a change for the rear window to notice).

Mine moves ever so slightly with the windows down, but it doesn't drop at all

When I look in the rear view mirror with the windows down, it's the same as they were up.

That I would be ok with but mine drops down to the point where I lose half of my rear view
