The latest bit to drop off...
Discussion
...is this little piece of grey plastic at the trailing edge of the passenger door window runner. It got lodged in the window runner and stopped the passenger side door glass from raising. A bit of silicon mastic and it's back in place.
It seems to be there to stop the door glass rattling when the window is up, I hadn't noticed it before. It looks like a bespoke piece hewn from solid but I think it's an original TVR bit. Has anyone else got this piece? They're missing on the SEAC.

t out of me. Neither car has your rubber block so maybe that is the answer. Can't be difficult to cut from a block of neoprene.The Hatter said:
It does seem to do a worthwhile job in stopping the window rattling... it's hard plastic though and not rubber. I suspect it's just a bit of odd U-shape plastic they had knocking about.
It's rubber on mine. I suspect it's just a bit of odd U-shape something they had knocking about.Sadly sealsdirect doesn't have a match.

Mine fell out during the window channel replacement job, was also a hard plastic section. However, it was a nightmare to fix back in so i binned it !! All I used was a small inch or so strip of bike inner tube ( which I also used for the window channel) with contact adhesive lapped over the top and down, no more rattley window whilst driving and was only a 5 min job at most. just have to time the contact adhesive to go tacky enough to hold the rubber or it will bend back up and not stick properly.
No picture at the moment but will post one up tomorrow.

This is what it looks like when it's stuck back in place:
Yet another example of TVR making things up as they went along. It does it's job, I wonder if it was only fitted to customer cars if they complained of the rattle.
There's a couple of chamfers on the bottom to guide the window into the groove as it goes up but it looks like it might be a bit of discarded curtain rail or something similar!
