Update
. This is the cheapest best mod ever. I read the previous forum threads and it has been updated to 3 pennies I guess inflation? I found the black boot twisted it off and put 3 pennies at the bottom and reapplied the boot. Now It pops up w/o relocking finally. I wish it would have kept lifting the hatch. Thanks for all your help. I wonder if the aftermarket hood lifts could be used for the hatch?
