C5 Rear screen opening
The solenoid on my rear screen has packed up and the screen often pops open when a door is closed. I'm having difficulty explaining to Spanish Citroen parts departments what I want. Can anyone tell me the Citroen part number for the solenoid.

Is it the hatch lock motor ?
The hatch lock motor :
6615.27 ACTIVATOR
But I suspect your real problem is a chafed cable in the loom to the hatch.
This would be the standard problem also known from Xantia Estate.
Carefully inspect the rubber protectors containing the cables running to the hatch.
Not uncommon you may find more than one wire nearly broken.

I've looked again at my rear screen. It seems that the solenoid is OK. It shoots forward when the opening button is pressed. I've also found the article on the C5 Yahoo site, but that is a repair for when the button DOESN'T work - mine does. My trouble is that the screen often opens when the driver's door is opened or closed. All ideas are welcome.myglaren wrote:It is quite an easy fix. There is a detailed description of the remedy on the Yahoo Groups Forum (somewhere) and it takes around twenty minutes, a soldering iron and a piece of thin insulated wire.

I use it quite a bit, it is a lot lighter and easier to use than the full tailgate when I only need to chuck something light into the boot, needs a lot less clearance when reversed into a parking space near a wall.wheeler wrote:Leave it unplugged does anyone actually use the opening screen ?JohnD wrote:All ideas are welcome.
