How to you close rear hatch?

mantella87 · 06-14-2012, 10:56 AM

I use my finger to pull the latch, then I put my finger tips on the edge of the inside of the hatch and guide it down, then I gently use the side of my hand (to avoid touching the paint with my fingers) to push down on the hatch and fully close it. I used to grab the latch, and pull hard enough to shut by itself, but like Fastfatdude said, it seemed harsh so I stopped doing it.

Mine does in the cold, I would usually have to press the hatch release button a couple times and pull to open it.
