This was a pain.. I have a full video coming out Friday.. but I did the hatch hinges without removing the hatch, didn't have a second set of hands because I didn't want to wait until the next day. lol

Turned out pretty good, rear window aligns with the body much better now and doesn't rub on the passenger side. I still have some tint to remove from the previous owner, but I'll get around to it soon enough.



Also took the car to work, it's a fun commuter.

 

Interested to see this!!!

 

I got the parts to do this years ago and have been putting it off because of the weight of the hatch glass, looking forward to the video

 

If you were closer I'd help. It's really not too bad, just stuff near the hinges with towels so there's no contact and leave the struts in place. It will only start to sag when you try to remove the hinges.

 

Here's the video..
