Door closing issue

[nulled]

Uploading these here for feedback. I am still not sure if this is normal behaviour.

Update:
Been shown couple of Macans, Taycan and a GT3. All had the same issue with the doors. It's the way they close... With a bit of force. The air can't escape properly unless you crack a window open. I asked if they can reprogram the window so it drops a bit more when you open/close the doors but they declined. The only solution is - soft close doors which the Macan doesn't offer - you need to go Cayenne or Panamera.

No it's not normal...

that would drive me crazy. I hope it's an easy fix!

do the door seals look seated properly?
does the door latch/catch line up?
door trim hitting the dash board, door sill or anything else?

Definitely not right.

Normally, it's just a matter of adjusting the anchor bracket in the B-pillar, or the lock in the door. A suitable torx screwdriver should suffice. I don't have a Macan to confirm, sorry!

On top of it, if it doesn't shut properly when I am inside, the car shuts down and I need to turn it on manually after shutting the door properly.

let the dealer fix it.. the doors are heavy and they use a dolly/stand to hold the door to make adjustments.

Rear doors close with much less force. So the problem is only with the front doors.

My new macan 4 initially had a similar issue with the driver’s side door. I believe it only happens when all windows and doors are closed, because the driver’s side window doesn’t automatically lower far enough (compared to the passenger side door) to allow air to escape the cabin. I asked the SA about this and he said that all of the macan EV‘s he’s seen are like this, but I got one of the first ones delivered to that dealership, so I don’t think he’s seen very many. Two weeks on, the issue seems to happen less frequently, or maybe I’m just getting used to it and closing the door harder.

Did you try to calibrate the window?

Very insightful! I feel the same way. Not sure if the door fixed itself or I got better at closing it....

In a frame less door the window can be the limit to a correct doot. WIth a loaner Tesla M3 I had something similar. Call the service and they told me to perform a window reset (very easy just keep the up button for that window and all it's done: solved. The window was going a couple millimeters too high and touch the interior frame of the door. Hope it's the same for you and t reset itself..

 

[krissrock]

yeah, the should only be an issue if it's not dropping at all when opening the door...

ooh oh ...yeah, the window isn't dropping in the videos either....good catch Diego

I tried resetting the windows by their guide but it didn’t fix it. I noticed that the windows go down a bit but not enough and the rubber insulation is still covered by the window. Should be an easy fix.

You have to try more than once. On my Tesla (after an update not so good.... yes also Tesla sometime messes things up) I had to try at least 10 times before it worked as should: down then up keeping the button pressed, then down.... and so on. At the end it worked and never happened again. Hope it works for you
