Whistling pods no more

[tim_bycroft]

Just before I took the lairy T350t in for it's first service I thought I'd play around with the pods to eliminate the whistling.

Pushed them as far forward as I could and tried to match the pod "bulge" with the roof apertures from the inside.

Result ... not a single whistle and problem free conversation at 100mph+

I've got the Mark II roof with the B&Q rear brackets, which I'm going to modify with a spring between the washers, so it at least looks a little bit professional!

Oh, and this car's an sbsolute hoot! Great fun to drive and I never have to wait to pull out into busy traffic ... someone always lets me in! The fun of TVR ownership!

Tim,

I'm intrigued. What do you mean by -
'tried to match the pod "bulge" with the roof apertures from the inside.'

If you mean the bulge on the underside (inside) of the panel, then this is smaller than the aperture, such that the panel can sit in alot of different positions.

I have the mk2 panels and have a problem with the pasenger panel generating alot of wind noise. The driver side is fine almost regardless of its position in the apperture.

Yes, I do mean the pod on the inside of the panel.
I played around making sure the gaps between this bulge and the aperture were equal all the way round.
It made a considerable difference. Previously, I had a noticeable whistle from the passenger pod.
