Mat Smith has done some work on my windows and they are much better. I did, however, notice that the passenger window is angled inward a bit, so it is not running upwards parallel to the rubber strip. Rather, it is driving in against it so that it is getting stuck.

Can I adjust the position of the window lift mechanism to change the angle at which it comes up?

Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance,

Richard

Nick,

This is indeed the problem. With the door open it goes up and down easily.

With the door closed the window gets half way up and then impacts upon the rubber seal on the roll hoop.

So I need to change the angle of the glass. Just want to know its possible before I spend a couple of hours of my life trying.

Many thanks - I had guessed there would be a high-tech adjustment system, but wanted to make sure first.

OK so to update…

Adjusted window runners at every place I could; 4 places in total.

Skin grafting to arms booked for next week - once I've scrubbed the fibreglass out of them.

Windows are just laughing at me, certainly no effing better and possibly worse.

Which idiot designed the bloody things?

If the next TVR is built like this it's effing doomed, I tell you. I have a deposit but my arse they are getting any money if the build quality is like this.

A monkey could've done better. Even I could design this better.

FFS.
