I have my hatch held down with bungees cords! The plastic rails that the rear hatch motor is mounted on/slides up & down on are totally busted. The hatch motor itself works fine though.
Anybody have a jimmy rig sollution or know of a place that sells just the mounting kit? Hopefully you know what I'm talking about, they're the semi-clear soft plastic rails (4 I think) that the hatch motor sides fit into.
Also the clear hard plastic on the left side where the screws screw into is broken. I think I can find a way to make that work (super glue or something) but if I could buy it I would, if anyone's had this problem please post what you did to fix it.
Any help greatly appreciated.

 

I sell the 3 most commonly needed items to repair the 86-91 hatch pull-down units. 1) New nylon guides. These are machined of solid nylon are a drop-in replacement and much stronger than the OEM injection molded disasters. 2) Reinforced motor housings. I reinforce new GM units with 4 pieces of aluminum and epoxy where they mount to the frame with 3 screws. 3) New Gear Nuts. When the motor continues to run, but it won't move the latch up and down, the gear nut is broken. E-mail me at: topdownsolutions@yahoo.com for these items. Lon

 

I think I might need to order some of your parts that you have as well. My girlfriend forgets I have the pull down motor and slams the trunk. I am trying to pull the unit out now. Do you have any kind of diagram of what it is suppose to look like. Looks like someone else tried to fix it with epoxy before and I can what is what.

 

Awesome lonsal, thank you! Just sent you an email.

 

I've sent you both my Price List and ordering instructions. I look forward to helping you solve your hatch pull-down problems. Lon

 

Thanks for the price list. You sent me one a while ago when I was asking about the wonderbar. I am still debating on getting it.
