Dodgy rubber seal on windscreen

[Chili Red]

Ive noticed that the seal running along the top of the windscreen is a bit loose near the doors - and it doesnt even go all the way across - theres a gap of about 1 cm at one side.

Is anyone elses like this? Just dodgy Renault workmanship? Should they fix this?

Ive also noticed the whistling wing mirrors, and the wheels make a rubbing noise when I turn sharp corners!!

On the positive side, I used to get cut up all the time when I had my Ford KA - but no-one does anymore, which was one of the main reasons I wanted a faster car. YAY.

The positives still outweigh the negatives - I love this car!

No no need to worry its more cosmetic than anything else.

My door seals are the same. The last inch or so doesnt seem to be stuck down. As for the mirrors mine to, and the wheel rubbing i think is sometimes caused by the wheel arch cover inside becoming loose and hanging down a bit. Take the wheel off and check it out.

As for build quality i am very disapointed with my 172 as ive had numerous faults, I will be selling it before the 3 year warrenty is up, as i imagine the repair bills after this will cost a fortune...

So would you buy a 182 or steer clear from Clios from now on? I hope nothing else goes wrong
