Stuck hatchback, 2003
Does anyone have a suggestion for un-jamming a stuck hatchback? I think a piece of cardboard was slammed in the latch. I tried pushing from the outside, and indide,...no help.[:@]

Well, without looking at it, I would guess you bent the hinge assembly. Close trunk and bang on lid where hinge meets the lid. Try not to damage the lid. Use an artistic approach, carefully examine how it works, and act accordingly. This is hammer maintainence, not rocket science.

Can't see the hinge bolts with it closed. I'm glad folks are thinking about this problem. I'm thinking about using a pry bar under the bottom, near the latch. But I'll wait a while. I think a betteridea will surface soon. [sm=signs007.gif]

Didn't try that one yet.

Did you try to press down on the lid while actuating the opener to allow the catch to open, then let off the lid when you hear it actuate?
