Default Hatch Repair.





Where it slammed onto my head LOL broken plaque




This ol girl just keeps wanting to fight it seems LOL

did one more oil change the other day ( all is good there just being cautious )

anyways while I was doing so and in the engine bay. I guess a corner of the hatch “ blew out “ so to speak. Fell down smacked me on the top of the head and pretty well just threw me in the bilge LOL I am pretty sure I was out for a short period.

of course my phone was up on the dash doing me no good. Luckily my wife had happened to come out to the shop and I started yelling! Managed to maneuver my self around to pick the hatch up with my back and prop something in between it and the bulkhead to give me enough space to wiggle out of there. I guess when it broke it slid out of the other existing hinge then pivoted on the two lift rams then decided to take it down with it.

anyways father and I fabbed up some hardware to put on there to eliminate that and take some pressure off those stupid little hinges on the back. I got them coated white before I stuck them on photos you see are for test fitting purposes etc!

All is good now it seems ( for now )

surely this isn’t a factory hinge set up? We all know how heavy this hatch is I’m sure.

Glad to hear you are okay. They are stupid heavy, I'm in the process of redoing mine. I needed to raise it and wanted it to look factory, it looks like I will be making a whole new hatch at this point. When they built the hatch for the Cafe's, they made it difficult to modify. Every side has something strange going on.
