T350 T Wind noise from panels...

[neil.b]

Anyone else with a T get pretty harsh wind noise from the front edge of the panels? Kicks in > 95mph, it seems to have got progressively worse on mine - hardly noticed it originally. You can induce it at lower speeds by pushing up on the panel so I guess its just being lifted slightly at higher speeds, enough to let the air in....

I tried tightening up the screws that hold the little finger shaped brackets onto the panel and also put some clear sealant on the top side of them (the brackets) to force a slightly tighter fit, but it didn't help.

I seem to remember someone else having this and ended up taking the car back to Blackpool to get it rectified.

Anyone any comment? Anyone know who the best person to speak to at TVR would be?

Don't get me wrong, I love the car, its just I'm driving along expecting to see the roof panels disappear in the rear-view mirror!

Plus, its much more than a whistle, it sounds like a high-pressure air line....

Neil,
My car went back to Bristol Av last year via TMS - they replaced the seals around the apertures which improved things big-time, now just a faint noise at, erm, 'higher' speeds
