    my rear doors stays are noisy and need replacing

    Do the door cards have to come off? If so is changing the rear door stays an easy job? Any guidance welcome

    Not familiar with this model.

    Have you tried greasing them to see if this helps with the noise.  Looking at the parts diagram it looks like there is a popper and maybe some screws at the bottom. See if this link helps.

    Grease applied and it’s not clear from the diagrams how it all fits together – might have to let the pros have a go!

    I had a QPV a few years back and my rear door stays did the same.

    I have since learnt it is a very common problem with the QPV, and for such a luxury car is a bit embarrassing with the creaks and clonks when opening the rear doors!

    When the car was in for a service I asked for it to be looked at, and was told it is a fairly expensive job (why was I surprised with that?), but it may be worth getting some quotes.

    I did (fleetingly) contemplate doing the job myself, but as you say it really was not clear what needed to be done, so left well alone!

    Please keep this thread updated with any progress….

    I have got some new door stays – £120 each (ouch) – no need to get a pro to fit….

    Would be interested to know how you get on with the fitting….

    Ok – have spoken to a Maserati specialist who describe this as “a pig of a job” as Maserati, realising that the part was made of cheese, have a new redesigned part that doesn’t quite fit – so filing is required to make it fit!

    McGraths here we come!

    indeed, no doubt the original was a  Buratta rather than a very nice, strong Parmigiano-Reggiano – enjoy the ‘grating’ 🙂
