Rear hatch alignment
« Thread Started on Jun 6, 2007, 9:40am »

Anyone else notice the hatch looks like it's slid back some after time? The adhesive simply getting old. Easy to replace. . .

I would expect your best bet is to fully remove the hatch for that, install them onto the hatch and then reinstall the hatch. My two cents. Anyone else?

That is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Over time, the adhesive simply isn't strong enough to perma-place that little strip of hatch. The glass should be fine. Just remove ALL of the old residue/adhesive when you do the job, clean it w/rubbing alcohol & re-caulk for a better word, the hatch back into place. For the right amount of Mountain Dew, I'm sure I can help w/this

Moving won't be a problem, I don't have very much stuff, only heavy thing I have really is my LS1, me and another guy carried that biotch from the truck into my apartment.
I'll accept help on the body work part of it though. I've never done it before but, why not give it a shot, even if it doesn't come out perfect, it'll atleast be one color and look better than it does. Worse thing that could happen is it starts to chip/crack/bubble, my paint now is already doing that.
