Hatch Shut

My hatch does not shut all the way. If I put a new hatch lock (bottom piece) in to hold it down do you think that would fit it? I looked at mine and it is busted up bad.

More than likely the hatch pull-down plastic motor housing has broken where the 3 screws mount it to the metal frame. You need to replace this. I sell a specially reinforced one (p/n 103121). It is available on my web site under the "Hatch pull-down items" category.

Hatch

I don't see it on there. How much is it? My little plastic pieces inside are broke. I don't have electric pull down no more, I don't believe. I would like it though

ok guys this ur problems, either ur hatch it self is off a bit, or your locks plastic support peice of the locking motor is busted, open up your back remove everything, take a look at ur hatch lock, if the motor is hanging, it means that it got dissconnectd from the main support of the car, if u want to close ur hatch tight, have someone push the lock in warms on the inside and have someone shut the hatch. it will catch and work.

Look at the bottom of the page under "Upcoming Products". Unfortunatly the 103121 Reinforced Motor Housing went out of stock yesterday 12/12. I have more housings on order and should be back in stock before the 12/23 date I listed.
