![]() ![]() ![]() :roflpuke2 :![]() ![]() Okay, I know I promised do abandon this thread (which I'm truly sorry I opened), but this post is just ignorant! The problem is not that I'm too weak to lift the hatch, its that the springs are to weak to pop it open. When you push the button, you have to push the button once to get it "almost popped", then lift it and push the button again to get the hatch up. (this cannot be done with one hand) Some people put pennies in the spring housings to give them enough "oomph" to get over the half sprung position. Some people remove the hatch weight so the springs don't have as much to push. Some ppl, (like me) take the service bullion down to the dealer and ask for the upgraded stronger springs. (and have to pay like 10 bucks ore something for them). These new springs have enough "go" to get the hatch to where one can use one's noodley arms to open the hatch. I may or may not need curls, but you definitely need to understand what your posting about before insulting the OP's level of fitness.
