Power trunk pull down
I have a 1986 with the power pull down trunk latch that I have had to rebuild twice in 2 years. Can I replace it with a regular non pull down latch?

Re: Power trunk pull down
Alternatively you can pull the power from it and jam some screws through it to hold it in place and make it essentially a manual latch. If you use the search function, it’ll come up with a lot of threads about people rigging them like a manual latch.
What kits have you been using to rebuild? If you want a good quality kit to keep the power function, I highly recommend the Deluxe Hatch Pull-down kit from top down solutions. It’s very high quality and the instructions are very detailed.

Thanks for the info, I will try that kit. I replaced the motor and gear twice and the thing would just keep trying to pull down even when it was closed all the way.
