YIKES!! don't slam the hatch anymore!
Same problem.. Its the "C" shaped catch located in the hatch. There's a little spring that apparently breaks and the "C" doesn't turn face open-down anymore, so when you slam the hatch, the catch bar on the bottom just rams the "C" into the mechanism even more.
The little bugger is riveted in there, so you cant really take apart the trunk mechanism with ease. The quick fix, is to get a pen or small phillips head, poke it in the little hole of the (now jammed) "C" shaped catch and shimmy it so the face is open and facing down. You should now be able to close your hatch. Let me know if you get it to work..
Good luck. |
