Hello my wife has Citroen c2 and the passanger side window no longer operates, she said all she hears is a clicking noise when trying to make the window go down, and idea what maybe causing this - how easy is it to get door cover off etc ?
Thanks
Jason

Is the car still under warranty ? If so get the dealer (stealer) to fix it.
Self-repairs can invalidate warranty.
Otherwise find a good independant garage, or perhaps check with a Haynes manual.
I've got a VW Golf... so can't give any direct experience with Citroen C2..... however...... my passenger side electric window got stuck a while ago.... eventually went up very slowly (but not without a fight). I took the inner door cover off (was a real pain to do)... but saw nothing obvious as to the reason. Assembled it back together.... and then got some silicone spray lubricant (with a plastic tube director) and spayed in the fur material gap, which houses the glass (both sides of the window). That got the electric window working nice and smoothly, up and down... and its not been a problem ever since (over 10 months ago). GL. (Tip: try not get any excess silicone spray lubricant on the paintwork)
Theres an even better lubricant for this job... specifically for this job i think.. but i've forgotten the name of it. I don't think you should use a lubricant like WD40 for this job.

I have a Citroen C2 too, and like one of the previous answers I'd get it straight back to the dealer if it's still under warranty. If not, then look for an independent garage that specialises in french cars, some specifically work on Peugot or Citroen and so will know the problem straight away and be able to get right to it. I have to admit I'm disappointed in the build quality of my Citroen and didn't quite realise how 'plasticky' the whole car is. Think I'll try a Skoda next time. Good luck.

Having electrical problems are all part of the "fun" of owning a french car I am afraid the only long term solution is to sell it and never buy another french car.

Next time by your wife a decent car, not some French Junk.

I have this problem with my Jeep. I think it's a loose wire somewhere, it's very annoying and keeps happening. I wonder if it's common with all electric windows.
