To fix it with the new wing, we bonded steel plates onto the hatch to spread the load of the downforce out a bit and prevent a repeat occurance.

thanks Mike. That is exactly what i can imagine.
But i dont track, i never exceed 70 on high way, so hope the wing wont create big downforce to destroy the hatch
I am fortifying the hatch, i mean i glue the base and Pedestals together , then mount it to hatch ( i would like to glue it too i addition to bolt) , then add 1 level big of aluminum/ steel plates underneath the hatch, then bolt it ?
Your steel plate is very good ideal, but the hatch is destroy because you track right ? does it cause by going through bump on street ?
