Window pops at 90!
Discussion
Hi all
Need some help.
At about 90 the passenger window is getting suscked out of the seal.
Does it just need adjusting?
Or are new seals required.
The seals seem very soft and do not support the window much.
I can push the glass out when stationary fairly easy.
Are there better replacements?
On both sides the glass is going up far enough to distort the seal at the bottom rear corner. such that the seal is not engaged there. Almost as if the galss needs to move rearwards slightly.

Do the cerbs have the window height adjuster like the chims?
mine is between the glass and the inside of the door, about 2/3rds way back, its a simple threaded bar with a screw driver slot, wind it OUT to raise the glass height, this may solve your problem.
if the cerbs dont have this, then sorry for wasting your time mate

I had heard that on early Cerbera's they were sealed too well and that this could happen (don't know if it's true) and the cure was to drill holes in the floor behind the petrol tank area, mine is a lateish one and it has a few large holes there, I believe it is to relive the pressure in the car or something like that.
Working on this myself. It's a combination of issues with older cars. There are official TVR suggestions that I'm working through. It seems the secret is to prevent cabin pressure building up, and if it does, make sure it can escape.
1) Block the hot air intake in the wing and modify the heating system to recirculation.
2) Add vents in base of boot.
3) New design window seals. Apparently this can be a difficult job reqiring repositioning the doors and fitting a new chip in the window controller.
I might have forgotten something.

Thanks guys, seems I'm not alone!
Mine is a 1998 4.5.
I found the previous posting "Drafty Windows"!!
So I will look to vent the cabin somehow.
If you have any photos of mods made that cured problem, they would be much appreciated.
Although I did feel that there was not a lot of through flow venting due to the misting up I have been suffering. I'll look under the rear window to see if there are any vents there.
Now I think about it I tightened down the boot lid as it was a bit loose!
I think this may have been left loose for this very reason?
