Get a fiberglass hatch! The metal hatch weighs a LOT guaranteed ET drop with a fiberglass hatch.

No special tools are required.

It's easy to replace. Just make sure you have a friend help. That thing is heavy. The hardest part is just threading the wires back through it. It's held in by two bolts under the rear headliner panel.
