Banging to door/windows when roof down

Has anyone experienced any severe banging of the door/window when the roof is down?

The passenger side window sometimes bangs so hard when I go over a bump that i think it will shatter one day.

The car is only 5 weeks old and has been back in to the garage for this problem to be solved once already, but it is still as bad.

Also the roof catch to the drivers side rattles so much that I have to have the CD on loud to drown it out.

I get rattling between the front and rear windows which is worse on the drivers side but I wouldn't say it is anything even close to shattering the window, and this only rattles on rough road.

I get no noise at all from the roof clips.

Yep, our driver's side rear window rattles alarmingly when it's down.

When you lower the rear driver's side window, hold the top of the window that protrudes from the body and wiggle it. It knocks against something metal inside. This happens when driving and I think it could damage the glass. I figure if you tap glass on metal, the glass will eventually break.
Do the same to the window on the other side and it won't move at all when you wiggle it.
Probably related to this, we've noticed a couple of times on closing the driver's side windows that the front window has gone up without the rear being fully closed. The front window should not go up until the rear is fully up. I'm sure that this is because the rear window needs tightening up. At the moment it's loose and when it shuts it's coming up under the seal rather than alongside it. The sensors think the window is up and switch power to the front window. So in theory tightening up the glass should sort both problems. After all, the passenger side won't move at all when you wiggle it.

Di took it in last week and they said it wasn't rattling. I don't think they tried lowering the glass! So now it's going off to the Monkeys a second time for them to sort it out.

And to replace the roof operation switch because the black paint is flaking off- which they were fine about!! Even though it works fine! There's no working them out! And to put on non squeaker brake pads which they were supposed to do but just 'lubricated something' instead.
Grrrr. Feckin

someone on here posted that one of their rear windows was running on abend winding arm (something like that) and made a banging noise, the dealer finally replaced all the window bits on that side and solved it

Same problem here. My dealer replaced it for free. He also said that they never had this problem with other CC. I feel so special! :rolleyes:

Oh man Elle after in 5 weeks...u must be so irate

I have to be honest, if i had experienced what u going through in my first 5 weeks i would have taken it back and would have been hesitant to look at another Peugeot let alone a CC.

Good luck!
