Sounds like many of us have similar problems My email is marathonbuild@blueyonder.co.uk I had problems with rear doors from day one, the dealer adjusted them several times Following little or no improvement they contacted Citroen uk technical help line (note they wont talk to me or you) It turned out that the spec of the runners was wrong and would have to be replaced. this work is under warranty and you should ask your dealer to act on your behalf and chase the new parts. The pinch setting on the rear doors was brutal when I first got the car but again a scream and shout finial found there is an adjuster and they are fine now. watch for cracked door handles too regards Paul
