I have a power pull down unit in the back of my hatch and wanted to know If there is anyway where I can convert it to a regular latching system? Could I mount one in my 86 Trans am even if the car came equipped with the motorized latch?

 

the motor is there so you dont shatter your rear hatch glass when you slam the thing shut.

 

d00d i want to do the same exact thing man. I am willing to seel my motorized one to someone who can fix it to working order again. Is $20 a good price or what. Only after i get the regular one though.

 

d00d what the sh*t. thats not true because they came with regular locking ones with no motor or anything at all. Where did you get that idea?

 

"trust me"

ive heard about it on this board.

only the early years didnt have motorized.

 

There is a company called Top Down solutions that sells a reinforced case for the pull down. The part numbers and contact information can be found here. http://www.fl-thirdgen.org/hatch%20pull-down.pdf
