General comments?
Needed a new hood when purchased, but due to cost not yet replaced. It has deteriorated rapidly over the last winter and now leaks like a sieve.
As the car has frame-less door windows a good body to window seal is required when the door is shut, however mine have perished leading to lots of wind noise at high speed. Unfortunately my local Peugeot dealer quoted me £137.00 for new seals per side!!!
Drivers seat has suffered due to getting wet from leaky hood and gradually collapsing on the right hand side. I now have to sit on the metal supporting frame of the seat. Not very comfortable!!!
