Removing rear hatch
I was wondering how much of a pain it is to take off the rear hatch to make it easier to repaint the metal trim around the glass
Thanks

Ive done it by myself, but it weighs around 90lbs & a little ackward.So get help if you cant lift it on your own.

Re: Removing rear hatch
I used a large cardboard box to set the hatch on and then unbolted it. Worked pretty slick but mine has the rear trunk cover which may have given the box more support.

Re: Removing rear hatch
not hard, helps with an extra pair of hands. Just be sure you DON'T twist it, that back glass is surprisingly easy to break.
