c4 doors not shutting.

Post by boristhespie »

My other half's new (06) C4 just back from dealer after £500 of work, we pick em. Anyhoo she never mentioned to them, thank God, that her rear doors and boot struggle to stay shut. You shut them and they don't seem to catch. I assume tgis as a squirt of gt80 and they are fine but only for that moment. Open again and the same lack of catch happens. I can't believe 3 catches have gone on a single car.

Any tips?

I don't note any door buckle.
C'est pas possible!

Not totally relevant but my drivers door lock became a bit difficult to get the key in after the recent heavy rain. Gave it a good dose of plus gas yesterday and it made it worse if anything. Gave it a good squirt of silicone grease today and is now working perfectly.
