I have a 91 Z28 and the rear hatch is Electronic and pulls it closed...

I looks like the whole thing is just plane loose in the tracks where it slides up and down and it didnt look like it could be delt with...no adjustments or anything like that

Has any one had expierence with the Unit being loose in the tracks????

Any solutions ??? or Am I stuck buying a whole new one (dosnt look like it would be a cheep Part =( any help would be great!!

 

I recently repaired that on my 90 RS convertible. I noticed the rear trunk (in my case since a convertible) was only going up or down a little bit. I noticed the latch mechanism seemed to be loose. I took the rear plastic out and pulled out the pull down hatch assy. I found the plastic housing for the motor was cracked and broken. I repaired it with a piece of angle steel and epoxy. I have taken apart a total of 3 pull down assemblies and all have been cracked at the mounting locations. If you catch it early before it completely breaks then repairing it is much easier. I made a reinforcement out of thin aluminum sheet stock and epoxied it to the face. I formed tabs that overlap onto the sides and also filled with epoxy. The condition can also be caused by the plastic rail guides being deteriorated, but I don't know of any fix for that other than getting another unit from a donor or GULP, buying another new assembly. Good luck, I hope it is a cheap repair. I do recommend picking up some spares though.
