try adjusting the lock where the catch catches onto... bring it outwards about 2 mil. should be 2 torques bits, or just one in the middle of the catch
Punto/Clio GTT
the one on the b post, not the catch on the door, you know the small bar that sticks out, pull it outwards a bit.. the door will catch sooner then and should make the door stick out that little bit

Punto/Clio GTT
yea take it in a lil bit then
Punto/Clio GTT
yea take the door in a bit. undo the 2 torques bits on the bottom pic, and push it a couple of mil towards the black rubber, tighten, shut door.. do it til your happy
Punto/Clio GTT
it moves all around, if you loosen it you can move it in a circle, the holes am elongated for allignment. make sure you hold it when you undo the 2 torques bits cus itll probly drop .. so hold it.. undo 2 torques.. push inwards a bit.. tighten back up
Punto/Clio GTT
thats how to allign a door if it dont sit flush with wing/quarter.
if the gaps aint even then you goto the hinges and mess with those. you jus gotta play with the catch til it catches at the right point.
no probs

open the door full and have a look at the bottom hinge, more than likely look like this

you wanna undo your 2 x 13 mil bolts, pull the door inwards or the hinge outwards slightly, then tighten it back up. that should pull the bottom of the door out slightly.
is the door out to the wing aswell or just the quarter? if it aint out to the wing then it will be when you adjust it

Smack the service manager in the mouth, he is talking bollox.
Punto/Clio GTT
give it a blast, should all lign up if you do it.
open the door fully, undo the 2 bottom bolts while the doors on your knees, pull it towards ya at the bottom then tighten the bolts up while your pullin
shut it, keep doin it til youve got it right.
you possibly, doubtful though, may need to undo the bottom bolt of the top hinge, just so its easier to pull it inwards at the bottom

I got the same story with a rattling drivers window from Renault in Birmingham.
Went to a franchise dealer and the had a look, no argument at all. They did scratch the inside paintwork of my door though.

Cant believe no-one has said this yet.
Contact Renault Customer Services UK, tell them the problem, that you took it to one of there Official Renault dealers, and was basically told to piss off.
Make sure you tell them which dealer it was. Bet you that you will get a phonecall back from the original dealer telling you to bring your car in and they will fix it, and later a phonecall from Renault Customer Services UK asking you if the problem has been properly fixed.
Dont take any sh*t from them, and dont do it yourself !!
Audi TT Stronic
sh*t, just read your post saying youve paid to have it done.. heres what to do.
Phone Renault Customer Services and tell them what you have had to do (taken it to bodyshop to get fixed after you dealer refused etc) tell them you can provide them with the reciept for the work carried out.
You should at the very least get vouchers for money off your next service, at best you will get all your money back.
