What to Do If We Notice a Sign of Tampering on the Sliding Doors of a Peugeot Expert

Model: Peugeot Expert Mark3, MK 3 - Years 2016-2025
Part: Car door

The video illustrates a serious security issue concerning the sliding doors of Peugeot Expert vans: thieves have discovered a surprisingly easy method to force the sliding door without the need for special tools or complex techniques. There is indeed a weak point in the door structure: simply make a dent on the lower panel of the sliding door, just below the external handle; this is not a mere attempt at breaking in, but serves to press an internal button, a mechanism that unlocks the lock from the inside. This way, they can open the van and access the load. The evidence of this tampering attempt is the small but visible dent that can be seen in the video. The solution is to disconnect the button that activates the internal unlocking mechanism, which is connected by a cable to a plug that can be easily disconnected. This way, the button will no longer function, and thieves cannot exploit this method to open the door.
