This mod was so easy I did it in three stages while cooking hamburgers on the grill. Unfortunately, it was to no avail. I got the hatch panel off only to discover, like luigi, I had no weight to remove

Thanks for the easy to follow DIY

Dammit... Sorry about that... I guess the cutoff is 2010?


Maybe since they released the TSB on the hatch not opening?

Something like that... I know I have one of the early model 2011 since it still had a steering lock (fuse has since been removed).
