Roofs and Windows

[ghunter]

Anybody got some tips on how to eliminate creaks coming from the roof panel? I've tried treating the rubber strip on the backend of the roof panel with silicone lubricant. That did nothing. Before I start replacing / inserting bits of rubber, has anybody got some experience in this area. Also, the drivers window does not close properly when the car is doing more than 70mph (TVR's version of a speed limiter?). I think this is because of the low pressure on the outside and a poorly adjusted window causing the window to be sucked out slightly and interfere with the guide at the top. Anybody seen this?

This is what I did with mine along with silicon based spray applied to all the seals on the roof & door seals.



The same results are also possible with Armoufend, and it now quiet squeak free.

Thanks for the info. I can't see clearly from the photo but is that a strip of closed cell foam rubber ala window seal stuff? What is Armourfend?

Cheers

It is actually the soft side of velcro.Armourfend www.armourfend.com/ is a clear plastic covering and they do a piece just for this area to prevent the paint being rubbed off.

Do armourfend do a strip for where the rear screen slots in under the lip of the rear frame? as I chipped the paint there already putting the window back in grr!!!!

Not a major problem have some touch up paint, but can see it may happen again..

I am not sure if they do a bit for that area.They will send you a diagram & price list for Tuscan if you ask.

Just be careful with Armourfend as I have it from the highest authority that it will invalidate the paint warranty.
