Frequently, when my '07 C6 is in cold or hot weather, the door on the driver side will not close properly when I shut it. It will remain slightly ajar. Its like the door is twisted or sagging just enough to prevent the self-indexing windows from "seating" and closing all the way up. I have to open it and shut it once or twice to get it to close. The Chevy dealer is still stumped.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Sounds like a trip to the dealer is in order. How long has this been happening?

If the dealer is stumped, to me, this means you need another dealer, don't you agree? This is their car, they fix it. If they can't, then they don't know their car.

I'll modify that to say that this dealer could call in GM and Chev engineers rather than leaving you hanging with a non-fitting door. It's up to them, and you to ask for more "troops."

May be the start of the problem I had this past weekend on my 05. I was at Myrtle Beach for the Cruise in and at the end of the show started to leave and the passenger door would not latch and the window would only go to within 2 inches of seating. Of course this was Saturday afternoon and the dealers in Myrtle Beach were of no help. Only saleman on the dealership lot and they wanted to trade. I bungled the door, drove 190 miles home and my dealer looked at it Wed. and had a new latch in this morning and replaced it this afternoon.

I'm glad to hear I am not going crazy. I "had" the same issue. I went into my dealer and tried duplicating the problem for the Service Advisor. I couldn't do it. No matter how many times I opened and closed the door. Then a few days later, same thing. Again, I went into the dealer with the exact same (now embarrassing) result-no issue. The Service Advisor told me that I was "not using enough force to close the door."

No other suggestions were made other than "keep an eye on it."

This was 2 months ago...and have not seen it since...weird.

This is the same thing that happens to me every now and then. When it does I just re-index the windows and it fixes it for a while. Not a big enough deal for me to take my car to the dealer so they can abuse it, rather then fix it.

Let's see, you have a significant safety problem with the car (if you drive with the door ajar it might open on the Interstate) and the dealer says they can't fix it. If that is the true situation then you have 4 options.

1. Ignore it.
2. Keep asking here until you get enough information to fix it yourself.
3. Find a dealer who knows his a&& from a hole in the ground.
4. Start documenting the trips and in a month or so file a lemon law action and get a new car.

I choose #4.

Did you try and re-index the window?

RDFLPIN

How do you re-index the window? Is it in the manual?

AORoads

Yes, it's in the manual. very easy.

I recently had the same problem I thought the door was misaligned as the door was not shutting all the way. My first thought was that the door was sagging, checked the hinges which did not show any misalignment. I then noticed that the window was outside of the roof weatherstripping.

Checked if the window was indexing and it wasn't.

Fix, re-indexed the windows. Problem fixed.

Window indexing, lower window then raise window when it is completely up hold the window switch for 3 seconds, do both windows. Simple

Hope this helps and that this was your problem.
