  • Plastic vent panels in boot keep falling off

    This issue is getting quite annoying now , as I only have to look at the things and they just fall off , does anyone know of a way or has done something to make these panels more secure

    I've heard a few people complain about these. Try some sticky velcro strips? Not sure if they would work or not. Worth a shot as it's a cheap fix if it does.

      They make excellent Frisbees. Seriously though, they are annoying.

      I heard a rumour that one DS3 owner got Citreon to replace them with something else? Anyone recall who and what that was?

              Just fk em off. Maybe fashion covers of your own or use velcro tabs. They're pointless anyway.

                      Hi, Just bought a 2016 DS3 Prestige 1.6 Diesel, found the same issue, I thought of gluing thin plywood or plastic to the inside area for the plastic vents to sit it, in the end I just put a small slit in the carpet above hole and attached the grill with a black cable tie (top) there is enough movement so the grill could move up and outward at the bottom for access. The boot side carpet is too thin.

                        Access is needed to the boot vent whenever replacing a rear cluster bulb

                          Anyone have any success with velcro? I've got some little self-adhesive velcro dots I'm going to try. Looks like popeye shoved his arms down by the sub in mine. Liner is all drooping.

                            used to strips of Velcro full length top and bottom of each vent , seems to have done the trick
