you can slam it but it will crack the housing for the pull down motor

Re: 1990 iroc hatch back not closing
once i used a screw driver and pushed the release where the hatch goes - and another time i pushed down on the inside of the mechanism and it unlocked the unit so that the bar in the hood would be accepted in the latch mechanism.
another time i pulled the unit out - cleaned it with gun scrub - then used gun lube - the kind you can see actually be absorbed into the metal - did that 4 or 5 times - them used some artificial lube - and put it back in and it worked.
dont really know what i did to make it work.

If your in an emergency situation just remove the pull down and tie it shut until you can figure out what is actually wrong.

Re: 1990 iroc hatch back not closing
Update on hatch back I moved the hold down assembly up about a 1/4 inch tightened it up and removed the thing that has 3 little magnets? The hatch closes tight now I will relace and relocate parts to orig place once I get the wiring fixed The key I got with car had chip missing so it wont crank anyway
