83tommy Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Anybody know of a good replacement or refurbishment for old rear hatch struts that don't do their job anymore? Also popping the rear hatch is a two man job now that involves one person holding up the lever while the other lifts the hatch. If you know a fix for that too I'd be indebted to you.

tux Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Frank from strut wise.com recently repaired mine. $165 or so if I recall correctly. He’s certainly not fast, but struts work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasQuest Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Sounds like the hatch is out of whack. They can be adjusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Once you fix the struts the hatch lever will work just fine. The hatch isn't "popping" b/c the struts are bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
