electric windows
Discussion
TVR have made the window switches on the Tuscan very stylish but am I the only one who thinks that they are not the most practical of systems??!! Unless there is something wrong with mine, it seems that you simply cannot just wind the window up or down without multiple fiddling with the switch and the window then playing catchup sometimes and not others?
I think 'idiosynchratic' is the word. After 30 months in my car, I can wind em up and down in one go without thinking about it - but they are fiddly! On the other hand, the 'oh gosh - they are fantastic' comments regularly received from occasional passengers is nice (even if you are thinking "well, they seem so at first - but the novelty has worn off by now...")I suggested to TVR that they put a 'press for fully down' operation - like the one that turns the heater fan on and off -
Ok tell me about the windows!
Picture the scene, played golf 7am-11 (in the rain)
Large breakfast
Enter car to start 1.5 hour journey in what could be called a tropical storm, and yes you guessed it the window would not go up!
The module had gone mad and that was that! I think there should be a manual over-ride, plus the fact when the window finally went up it was when the door was open and when I was forced to shut the door the glass scratched the door surround!!!!
Mare, it was cheap to get fixed, hours labour plus part which was about £10...

Oh great! My window is going mad! It opens half way, then the door opens, then the window goes down even further.
When I close the door the window only goes half way up so I have to reach in, roll the window button, get my arm out pronto then lock the car which puts the window up to the top.
Got my arm locked in the window yesterday when I didn't pull it out in time!

absolute classic! I pulled up at home the other night with a mate (his first run-out in a Tuscan) Left him in the car while I ran for garage keys, it was raining cats, ran back because he was obviously stuck in the car (didn't know how to get out!)
I'd left the door just open! (the window was down that bit) stuck my arm thru to point out the push switch and must have gently pushed the door closed - bssssss, window closes as I'm pointing like mad at the radio area, big scream, arm trapped in door
Does that window bite when it's wound up on your elbow!
"No the kinfkuc! switch is there, there, u tig"
It seemed like years passed before my flapping passenger worked out that the small brass button was a door opener
Finally freed my arm and looked all around quick, see if there where any other Tuscan owners around just in case! (no not embarresed)
Tricky elecky window switches ? Bring back the windy roundy handle - at least your arm's safe!!
