Why can't the Range Rover's power closing door close properly?
2 Answers
The reasons why the Range Rover's power closing door cannot close properly include: displacement of the door hinge or lock clip; the door lock tongue cannot reverse and latch securely; issues with the door lock's contact switch or insufficient height of the contact installation, causing the door warning light to remain on even when the door is closed. Criteria for a good door: The quality of a car door is mainly reflected in its anti-collision performance, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and other functional indicators. Anti-collision performance is particularly important because, in the event of a side collision, the buffer distance is very short, making it easy to injure occupants inside the vehicle. Door maintenance: Pay attention to the door stopper when opening and closing the door. Check if the stopper is functioning properly and avoid opening or closing the door too forcefully. Be cautious of scratches from keys or other objects. When getting in or out of the car, keys around the waist can easily scratch the door. Avoid excessive force when closing the door. Using too much force can affect the door's sealing performance, so take care to protect the door's sealing rubber strip. When opening or closing the door, be careful not to damage the sealing rubber strip, as it can easily be ruined.
I often help people deal with the issue of power-closing doors not shutting properly, which is mostly caused by dirty sensors or obstructions leading to malfunction. For example, dust buildup or small stones stuck near the door edges can prevent the sensor from detecting the closing signal, or unstable battery power may affect the motor's operation. I recommend first cleaning the door gaps and sensor areas, then wiping them with a dry cloth. If that doesn't work, try restarting the vehicle to see if the system resets. Ignoring this issue long-term could lead to more serious problems like wiring short circuits, so addressing it early is the safest approach. If you can't fix it yourself, it's best to have it checked by a professional repair shop, especially since the Range Rover's system is relatively complex.
