Question Windows popping when closing

My windows pop, as if they are out of adjustment most of the time when driving at speed. Is there an adjustment that can be made to prevent this and is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Govern your top end to 150MPH.

The only time mine pop is if I run the windows up while already running 70+mph. I've never had them pop out of the channel, if that's what you're referring to. I had a '71 Mustang that would do that, and it would scare the crap out of you. Around 90 mph the airflow outside would actually suck the windows outward. However, it didn't have a frame around the top of the windows like the L does.

Well my L is not unique to the window pop.

Thanks for the reply's....These cabs do have an excellent seal, so I can live with this. I can open the back glass, before closing my window and this helps a little!

Cool

My windows will make that popping noise going up when I have the vent fan on HIGH. I usually turn the fan down before I put the windows up. These cabs do seal like a submarine!

I have to open the passenger window or the rear window a lil bit in order to get my driver's side window to shut properly at interstate speeds. Otherwise it does not seal.
