Well I bought a pull down hatch cover and it extends and retracts nicely. But how do I keep it extended? does it attach to the hatch lid somewhere?

 

Yes. If your car was equipped for one there are two slots in the plastic trim panel on the inside of the hatch that it slips into. As I recall behind those slots in the plastic trim are metal pieces to hold it too. It's been a while since I converted my car to add the attaching pieces.

he is right and my came with it factory if it did it is pretty visable

 

I have that part in black if anyone needs it, it attaches to the underside of the hatch.

 

I do recall seeing the the plastic slits but no metal pieces for it to clip too... any ideas on where to buy something to attach it to?

 

do you have what the cover attaches to on the deck lid?

how much?

 

What I have is one piece, the metal is intergrated into the panel.

 

oh the entire plastic piece? how much are you charging? i think i can find some way to keep it up with a little work

 

There are always ways to rig something, if you want it to be correct and factory then I sent you a PM.

 

Thanks for all of your help guys!

 

 

The cover clips into 2 slots into the plastic piece underneath the hatch (the long plastic piece that extends underneath the hatch from the left side of the car to the right). There aren't any metal clips so to say underneath the this piece, but rather a 6" bracket (so to say) that is riveted to this plastic piece from the inside.

I just so happen to have my cover lying around. Hope the picture clears things up a bit.

 

Thank you for that descriptive and definitive portrayal!
