Issues with the Rear Bonnet of the Citroen C3 Pluriel

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Body

If the rear bonnet of your Citroen C3 Pluriel does not close properly, it may have the same issue as our YouTuber, who discovered that there was a cable inside the protective sheath that was bending abnormally and eventually broke, preventing the tailgate from opening. He found it inside the left sheath, but it could also be on the other side. The YouTuber identified another problem: water that remains under the "Citroen" lettering on the tailgate handle, which is hollow inside. In these small compartments, water gets trapped and has no way to evaporate, which can lead to rust issues.
