Is there an adjustment for the rear hatch on these third gens? My hatch spoiler when closed sits about a quarter of an inch higher than the quarter spoilers and the hatch doesn't latch. Which is okay for now, since it's powered and there's no battery in the car and I don't have the door keys. Just looking for advice when I soon get her ready. Any advice will help, and it is all original car nothing has been replaced.

 

Almost all thirdgens have the same problem.. When you get a battery in there and that motor can move up, it should latch just fine.. It's a common factory problem.. Atleast from what I've read...

im new here dont know much about wokring on cars kudos to google but i have a diffrent adjustment problem its on a 89 formula if it matters but when the motor sucks it down the hatch is following the car about a half inch i need to know how to move the whole hatch forward i was told its on the body brackets with gas rods unhooked but is it the part of the bracket attached to glass or the part of the bracket attached to body

 

In general, avoid messing with the bolts through the glass... Make the adjustment on the body side if possible, that way you don't risk shattering the hatch.
