Re: Rear Latch
Also, don’t forget to really clean out the existing latch mechanism. When I replaced my rear latch handle the latching mechanism was also sticking making it hard to close the hatch. You practically had to slam it shut in order it to latch. Saturate a lot of degreaser or WD 40 to flush out all the rear road gum that has accumulated over the years. Than spay and saturate silicone lubricant. Closing the latch now is like night and day. Know all I have to do is gently drop the hatch and it closes nicely!
