My first polo was like that, vw told me it's because it has a/c and when all doors are shut it's air tight so shutting the last door needs a good old slam to shut it! My second polo exactly same model didn't have a problem and then my golf had a/c but didn't have a problem but now my up does, the last door closing needs a good slam to close it!jezyg said:My passenger door needs a good slam to shut properly.

THAT can't possibly be right! Remember when 'flow through ventilation' was first introduced back in the 1970s? Cars had one-way vents (used to be situated in the rear C pillar (the Cortina actually made a feature of them!) Later they were hidden away behind the wrap-around part of the rear bumper at each side of the vehicle. In any case, when you drive along with the windows shut and the fan on (with or without a/c) if there was no escape for the incoming air, the pressure would build up! So, to say the car is air tight is totally incorrect! (Yes dogs can suffer from overheating in a closed car on a hot day but that's not because of air tightness.)Itzben said:..... vw told me it's because it has a/c and when all doors are shut it's air tight...
