Hi guys,anyone know much about Tigra`s?.a friend of the family has just bought a V plate Tigra.told me the other day they had a problem with it,when the boot lid is opened and you push it shut,and get about half way down the passenger window rolls down about 3 inches,abd when the boot lid is shut all the way after a couple of seconds the window rolls back up shut again(only the passenger window does this).

I thought they all did this due to the size of the boot lid and the amount of air it would displace when being shut. i.e. the passenger window opens to allow the air trapped inside to escape,then shuts when the boot is closed.sort of a design to stop air pressure inside popping windows out of the rubbers?

Am i right?,can anyone confirm this or am i just mental

I thought most cars have one-way valves (flappy thing behind the rear bumper) to combat this??

My dads landrover has the same sort of feature, only with the back window (because the back window winds down) very clever!

the tigras boot lid is curved like an air scoop hence the need to depressurise the car lol

Could one of these valves be made to make a whoopie cushion sound?
