Hi there

I'm from South Africa and recently purchased my CC. Along with the brakes squeeking I notice that my doors don't close properly if the top is up and the windows are up.

I first though that it was because of the rubbers but if both doors are open, only the last one to close will give the problem.

If I roll down the window slightly or have the top down, it closes like a dream. I think it may have something to do with the air pressure, but I wanted to find out if anyone has this problem as well.

Sounds like the problem I have on my passenger door. If I press my finger on the join between the glass panes, it pops back into place.

Well actually the doors close completely, I just have to force it a lot harder, or it stays partially closed.

I guess I may just be being picky but, it not very impressive when I have tell a passenger to keep closing their door.

Hi there

Your problem is not unique. Had the same issue on the passenger side, especially when the drivers side was already closed. Got the dealer to re-aligned but then ended up getting a minor leak above the rear quarter window. Back into service - they managed to get rid of the leak, but the door still doesn't close real smoothly. Needs a bit of a slam to close but at least better than it was originally. Can't beat that Pug quality and squeak free interior ... ha ha !

Try your dealer - perhaps you will be more lucky with a fix.

Cheers

Just make sure that it isn't the seat belt. Time after time I kept slamming my door shut as it wouldn't close properly - Oh, I notice the seatbelt stopping it from doing so, I now have scratched and dented trim.

Drivers door never used to latch properly on our car and also top corner of glass overlapped seals, (sometimes dropping back into place with a thud as you pulled away).

Dealer adjusted door in accordance with a Peugeot technical video. Now door latches properly, but occassionaly glass still overlaps. Think this is because the car twists on uneven ground and roof might not locate correctly if clips are done up one at a time - Do both up together.

(PS Have experienced both problems with the CC courtesy car we have at the moment, but not as bad as our car was).

SNVL - this may seem silly but try leaving your air vents open. This will help the pressure equalise when you shut the second door.

Dont mess with the seals or you are 80% certaion to get a leak afterwards.

I tried that with no luck. Guess I'll just drive with the top down all the time and guess what....Springs almost here.

Your passenger door would be on the drivers side in the UK. It seems the majority of problems are experienced on this right hand side. It probably has something to do with the French not liking the British!

Having the same problem too.After 4 or five adjustments of myself (the point that door locks) i have managed the door to close almost the same with driver's door with no leaks.But the problem that i have and its independed of the adjustment and the window if its open or closed, is some noises like clicks,or sqeaks especially when the car starts or braking... any solution to this?It makes the same with the roof open or close..
