Seems like my car is a base model. Manual windows, locks, no extra light in hatch area. I see no motor around the hatch latch. However I'm getting exhaust fumes in the car and im guessing it's from the rear where e duals exit. There is something right next to the hatch latch - a sensor? Should it have a latch motor?

if there are fumes entering the car than you have a leak. you hatch could be misaligned or not mating properly with the weatherstripping surfaces. also check the spare tire area for holes.

Just had exhaust checked out and gaskets at y-pipe changed. Still have exhaust smell in cab, but only with windows part way down. I added extra stripping to seal under the hatch, no difference. Retorqued header bolts. Put in pull down motor. Very little if anything changed. Even set it to max ac - no difference.

Car has those bow tie exhaust tips coming straight out of the back. Would that cause exhaust to get sucked into the cab?

1986 model year cars did have a motorized hatch pull-down unit standard.

I drove mine around with no hatch (sparingly) for a couple of months due to an accident, and didn't get any fumes. Also convertibles seem to work ok. The leak's probably further up front somewhere.

The connector for the third brake light?
