After I installed the spoiler..my hatch doesn't seem to want to open when I pull the latch. it really hasn't bothered me much since I use the ghetto 'seatbelt pull' method. But I was just wondering if any of you who have heavy hatches have this hassle and if any of you found a fix for it.
Other than taking off the spoiler or getting new shocks. (my shocks were brand new when I got the new hatch and spoiler) Thanks, Malek -------------------- |

yeah, especially in the winter time like this it gets cold n my struts don't hold too well. I think since they are gas struts, they are affected by temperature.

I think since they are gas struts, they are affected by temperature. I was going to say that. I am certain that is what it is. I wonder if that affects normal car struts as well then. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204
