Are your gas-lift-struts really charged up? You might want to unhook 'em so they don't push the hatch around.

Make sure you have a buddy to help you - especially if you take off the gas struts because that hatch glass is damn heavy! My brother helped me adjust mine... we loosened the bolts, shifted slightly, tightened them and checked the alignment. Took us a few tries but we got it. Good Luck. Teddy Z '84Z28
