Actually you just got to drop it gently on the locking unit , there is an assisted closing feature or something like that on the hatch , so you dont need to push it closed or slam it to close it .rragpaoa wrote:Yup, same problem on my 08. Had it replaced a couple of months after I bought it brand new thinking it was a defect, and the new ones are having the same problem.
Also, did you guys noticed that when closing the rear hatch, it comes down with a big SLAM!
Not on my european 2005. But I'd love to have it.. :pkacjames wrote:Actually you just got to drop it gently on the locking unit , there is an assisted closing feature or something like that on the hatch , so you dont need to push it closed or slam it to close it .rragpaoa wrote:Yup, same problem on my 08.

I am willing to pay a little more to upgrade to something better, however I'm not sure I want something that's strong enough to make the hatch fly open. It would probably make it much more difficult to shut and I'd like my wife to be able to close it without needing both hands. The amount of force it had when new was good. I just need something that doesn't wear out so fast.macbell7 wrote:Ive started to notice that mine suck also. I think the easiest fix if your willing to pay little bit just upgrade to a heavier load shock. Upgrading would make the hatch door literally fly open, which is what you want.
Hmmm, okay, I was wondering what the hell everyone was talking about.AZ_Path wrote: I think this feature started on the 08's.
