Just wondering if anyone elses hatch is kinda loose and doesnt sit flush? I noticed my left side was sitting high so lowered the rubber adjuster (which i cant get the rubber part back on, suggestions would be appreciated) but it still doesnt sit low. I can push it down a bit, almost as if the hatch is warped or something? any ideas?

I had a loose hatch on the 85 stang and i replaced the weatherstripping and it you can rock it back and forth and the whole car moves now. how does the w/s look?

My hatch doesnt latch all the way just one side. I have to pull the hatch over to the left to even get it to latch a lil bit. New hinges?

would be my guess. maybe look at the shock supports to see if they are tight.

adjust the striker, i had the same problem and i messed around with that and eventually it worked.

My hatch is hitting the body and tearing up the paint.... tried everything I can think of to fix it with no luck...

Well the weatherstripping is still good, and the strut things holding the hatch open were recently replaced so i will take a look at the latch.

Well i checked the latch and it seems fine. Its only the left side that that sits a bit high. If i push the hatch down it goes down but then comes back up.

Is there any possibility that the hatch is warped?
