What Are Citroen C1 Left Rear Door?
A rear door contains everything a front door does — shell, hinges, window regulator, glass, latch and loom — with one part that gets worked harder. The flexible wiring loom crossing from the B-pillar into the door has to bend every single time the door opens, and after tens of thousands of cycles the copper strands inside it start to fracture. Rear doors reach that point before fronts, because rear looms carry fewer wires and there is less redundancy when one breaks. The symptom is distinctive: central locking or the window failing on that door alone while everything else works perfectly.

Common Questions About Citroen C1 Left Rear Door
How much does a Citroen rear door cost to replace?
Used rear doors through South African strippers run R1,900 to R7,300 depending on the model, colour and condition of the shell. Pro Citroen Spares and our supplier network hold used C3, Xsara and C3 Aircross rear doors. Confirm what is included before buying — a bare shell and a complete door with glass, regulator, latch and loom are different purchases at very different prices.
Why won't my Citroen rear door open or close?
The two candidates are a seized latch and a broken wire in the door harness. Which one is easy to establish: if the window and the locking have failed on that door too, it is the loom, because those share the same flexible run. Stripping the card and peeling back the rubber boot between the pillar and the door usually reveals the broken copper inside the insulation.
Can I get a used Citroen rear door in South Africa?
Yes. Pro Citroen Spares carries used rear doors for the C3, Xsara, C3 Aircross and C5 Aircross, colour-matched where the stock allows. Send the VIN, the side and the paint code from the plate under the bonnet. A matching colour is worth waiting a week for, because a respray on a door means blending into the panels either side of it.
What causes Citroen central locking to fail on the rear doors?
Metal fatigue in the flexible loom between the B-pillar and the door. Every open and close bends those wires, and after enough cycles the strands break inside insulation that still looks perfect from outside. It shows up on rear doors first because they carry fewer conductors, so a single break takes out a whole function. A loom repair — splicing in fresh flexible wire — fixes it permanently and costs far less than a door.
How do I fix a stuck Citroen rear door latch?
Remove the door card, reach the latch through the access hole in the outer shell, unbolt it and unplug its connector. A used latch is under R1,000 and is the correct fix. Penetrating spray into a seized latch will usually free it for a few weeks, but the reason it seized is normally a cracked internal pawl, and lubricant does nothing for that.
