We have a 2006 SC, the rear door can be a pain to get closed. It takes a good slamming to get it to latch fully. The dealer says that this is normal (of course), they said all SC's need the trunk to be "closed hard" to get the door to latch completely. Lately it is taking repeated slamming attempts to get it to latch. It is getting to the point where I am worrying that the reat window glass is going to shatter the next time I slam the rear door. Any one else have this issue?
Further, we also had issues with the rear fold down seats not relatching, again the dealer looked at it and told us we need to slam them really hard into place to get them to latch, again "normal for this car". I can't imagine that the car designer intending that everything be slammed to get the latches to engage. My 2001 9-3 requires only a light touch on the trunk lid and rear seats.
Thanks.
