Subject: [928] Re: stupid rear hatch lock (not remote)

When the rear hatch lock breaks internally , and it will , if the remote
release does not work or you have none . The simple way to open the hatch
 no it will not pry open - tried that on a dead car ) is to crawl into the
rear area with an electric drill about 1/4 bit . .First ,drop the tool kit
cover down then peel up the covering at the center top section of the panel
behind the tool kit . You need to drill a hole in the very center of that
panel as high as possible still on the main body . This hole allows you to
insert a screw driver to push back the white plastic latch on the black post
. It helps if someone pushes down on the hatch to release some of the
tension .The hole is then covered by the upholstery . The internal cast
metal arm of the lock is not sold as a separate part .

First thing to check is that the fasteners are tight on both the top and 
bottom part of the latch.

There are two adjustments that may be necessary.

Remove the tool panel. Loosen the two 10 mm bolts that hold the hatch 
release, and have an assistant trigger the release. Slide the release down 
until it begins to drag  at the bottom of the cycle, and slide it up until 
it is just free.

If this doesn't cure the problem, loosen the fasteners holding the top 
latch to the hatch, and insert spacers under the outer edge so that the 
latch is tilted slightly forward. Make sure that the alignment is such that 
the latch enters the receptacle cleanly.
