Driver Window Pops Out at 190mph!!
I have had this intermittent problem in the past. I want to now fix it. When I am on a local track my window seems to pop out when I hit 190mph plus.. What is the fix for this?

Vince,
I am also a resident of Valrico, FL. Sounds like your car has some great mods. If your out at any local shows I would like to see the car sometime. I have a 2004 Z06 which is all stock for now.

Adjust the window blow out clip. The black thing in the middle at the top of the window. It should be about 4mm from the glass when closed. You can bend it with taps from a rubber mallet.

i've only had my C5 to 140 and it does not inspire the kind of confidence needed to push it to that kinda speed.. What the hell have you done to your suspension/etc?
PS..... i've been over 180 in the RX7 that i have, so it's not fear of going that fast...

If your C5 doesn't inspire confidence at 140+, something is wrong with it. No hyperbole, just the truth.
Edited: unless perhaps you have a base suspension. I've never had one of those at speed, but at normal speeds the one I drove seemed pretty soft. Try at least a Z51 spec, Z06 is better still.

I have major confidence in my ride above 150mph. I have done minor suspension mods, but I was going 170mph when it was stock with just the Z51 suspension. The car is actually smooth up top. The only complaints are the window popping out some and the hood going up and down.
