Passenger window problem

[redcar]

Got a problem with the passenger window on my 450SE, if the door is closed with the window up the window sits on the outer edge (gutter) of the roof panel. If the window is lowered and then raised its seals in the correct place under roof panel. Any ideas or suggestions its a silly problem but drives me mad.

Redcar,
Same problem on me SEAC. Door adjusted to solve the problem and now have a gap on the front top edge of the window.
Adjusting the door could solve the problem.

That's a bit drastic ... just adjust the window..
unless the door has risen (but the always drop !).

To adjust window (start with window down !):

Remove interior door trim - there are screws around the
trim panel (mainly at the bottom).

The rubber rain channel and door lock (push button) always are difficult on reassembly.

You might have to remove bits of tape to get at interior of door - look at the bottom towards the rear
for something that resembles a steel cable and a bicycle style brass stop thingie with a screw.

Just shorten this a small amount (after winding window down)and try winding up window and shutting door.

Re-assemble door panel. Never easy !

Hope that helps !

I have same problem with my passenger window

but only if i put the lid on one way round ????

are the locating pegs slightly out and, is there a proper back and front to the lid . The only way i can tell is by were some bl..dy cat has tried a manacure on the lid top.

Thanks for tips, will try adjusting window.
Good call Mike.B previous owner had roof overhaul, I wonder if they cocked it up, will check other way round, at present front of roof does look to big for screen,(about 3/8" overhang) as you I dont know if the front is wider or narrower than back. Perhaps someone could measure there,s for me.
Many thanks.

I have also found - that the roof can be pushed a small
amount .. one way or the other - once the struts are locked.

It might help !

I have the same problem. The adjustment is as Rev proposed. Two things to note. There is a front and back to the roof. The front edge is slightly rounded whereas the back is straight. Why TVR didn't put the locating pegs at different spacing front and back, so the roof couldn't be fitted the wrong way round is a mystery. Secondly, be sure you put all of the plastic and tape back between the door panel and the door. If you don't you'll get drafts blowing in - mainly around the door pull - right up your trouser leg or your girlfriends mini.
