My passenger window keeps dropping, the interior light comes on and the pod tells me the door is open, which it clearly isn't.

Any help gratefully accepted and faithfully applied !

Sound like a problem with the micro switch behind the aluminum plate.

Have a look at this link. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

It maybe the microswitch or simply that the door lock has worked loose.... that was the problem with mine.

As per last 2 posts, microswitch or door lock itself.

Mine was the door lock, took two attempts to fix it in place but all sorted now!

I've had a quick fiddle and it seems that when I took the cover plate off both allen screws holding the door catch were loose. I've tightened them and suspect that this was the problem.

Thanks guys, I'll let you know if the problem has been solved.
