Just had it back from the snagging list v 1 :-)

As my mate said to me when you get a TVR think of it as a new house - it aint gonna be right first time!

Anyhows part of the reason it went in was due to noise and poor fitting windows - they have sorted the left one out but the right one still a few hiccups. Dealer says this is the norm - so a quick check!

At the very top of the window at the rear there is a slight gap where ti doesnt quite touch the seal - noise!

Also at the bottom of the window again at threar it isnt tight to the hoop seal - agin dealer says this is normal its not like it on the left one.

Anyone have any experience of their drivers window not quiet fitting right!

I would say no and no, this isn't normal. My driver's window fitted snugly against the roof seal for the full length, and at the bottom where you describe. I was very impressed with the lack of wind noise for a convertible. However, I too have suffered problems with seals and water ....

If you get one that seals well, hang on to it! Just about every Tamora suffers from the gap at the top rear corner of the windows - apparently Tuscan seals are thicker, and can help, but it's also to do with careful tweaking of the window alignment. See your dealer.

Mine fits snuggly as well. Have you tried fiddling with the roof alignment. Mine is really sensitive and a slight shift to left or right can either make or break a perfect tight seal. The trouble is the alignment pin and the "V" in the roof panel is pretty crude so there is plenty of margin for movement.

Also connected with the re-trim thread etc. See if you can persuade them to body colour the lower rear light plastic surround as compensation for all thr troubles you are having. I had mine done and I think it looks much better.
