This has been frustrating me in every possible way.
The hatch lever only allows me to open the hatch if I put something under to keep the lever up. It’s annoying as hell. I’ve tried to fix it on my own using multiple methods:
1) Tried readjusting the hatch latch position (Reference link:
)
2) Replaced the stock shocks with stronger aftermarket shocks (Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CMX3NC9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share)
3) Put in bigger rubber bumpers (Link: Nissan / Infiniti Nissan OEM Rear Hatch Rubber Bumper - Nissan 240SX 89-94 S13 01658-00112 - Concept Z Performance)
4) Cleaned the latch with WD40. That didnt work, so I bought a new hatch latch altogether from ebay
5) Tried to tighten the latch cable
6) Tried readjusting the latch lever
After all these, nothing has worked. When I replaced the latch, it actually worked normally for 2 uses then it went back to being busted and having to hold the lever up to open the hatch. So something tells me it’s an issue with the latch but I just can’t figure it out.
Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone have some knowledge on this issue? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone
