      rear window retention at high speed

      Hello, all.
      I have a '69 Mustang fastback I have been playing with some. I have run a couple of half mile events, and in May I will run my first mile event.
      The car runs mid 140's in the half, and I am expecting it to run in the 170's in the mile.
      The one thing I am worried about is the low pressure at the back window sucking the back glass out of the car.
      Am I right to worry about it, or am I wasting my time?
      The window is held in place with the rubber seal, which was replaced after the car was painted.
      I don't want to drill the body for retaining straps.



      I sure would like to hear from someone that has ran a similar car at these speeds.
      Thanks for input or ideas.
      Tim

      You were correct so far.
      I ran 156 in the mile, and hit 164 on the road race.
      The window stayed in.
