Rear shelf lifts with windows down?

got to 120 on a backroad on the way home... with the windows down and my shelf didn't move and inch. I know b/c all my friends left the windows open when they got out and it's cool to hear the wind go by the car at 120mph.
 
My service writter is a Mazda247 member, so it's already been posted, he can find it if he wants, though he's cool.

Side note, I took the rear head rests out of my car the day after I got her home. I felt that they obstucted the view out of my rear view mirror when I looked behind me. Not sure if with these head rests out + windows down + triple digit speed + crappy magnets = rear shelf flies up.

Try re-installing the head rests and see if it does it...
I was thinking about that yesterday...but I never thought anyone would actually remove the headrests...not safe for your passengers...if you have any.

99.9% of the time it's just me or just me and the wife in my car. the other .1% is when our niece/nephew come with us, and they are in their car seats.
 
Cruised at about 115 a couple of times and the shelf didn't move. I'm also thinking it may have something to do with the headrests disrupting some of the airflow.

I don't think it was the speed so much as the rapid increase in speed from 80 -100 plus the lack of headrests.
 
Have you ever removed the shelf? Seems like it fit in there better after I removed it to transport something and put it back in.
