:D

Looks good!...Glad I could help...:tup:

So Did you make a DIY yet?

Kenchan did, complete with the updates...

CF Rear Hatch Dampers
 

Alright so I went outside during a study break to install the rear dampers. It's actually a lot easier if you ignore everything else that comes with the package (ball joints, brackets, etc.). At least one person PM'd me about the ball joint; you can, er rather should, use the stock ones.

The key is, as Ryan mentioned earlier, to install and lock in the top join first by lining it up parallel to the hatch, then whacking it in. The angle of the bottom cup joint will not match up, so you'll have to unscrew the top cup joint a bit from the damper arm.
Also you might have to unscrew the stock top ball joint a bit or else the bottom cup joint won't reach the ball joint. Then after you install and lock the bottom joint, re-screw the top ball joint up and it's all good to go.

Stock bottom brackets.

Woot woot! And yeah my car is dirty, but that's how I like my cars and my women. :tiphat:

Nice!! good job :)

Any bulging on the hatch? ;) jk

Nice job! :D

Haha. The only thing is, after it crosses a certain level - a threshold if you will - the hatch will go flying up like a catapult. So I guess the dampers are stronger than the stock ones. Just gotta make sure there are no small animals, like kittens for example, napping on your rear hatch when you open it, or else... :stirthepot:

Hahaha! :D. That's how it was on my hood damper until it was broken in. Keep cycling it and it should get rid of air bubbles or watever and settle down.

Will it alow you to ride with the hatch open or somthing?

how did you guys get the plastic cover off?

I am worried about those things that hold it

which plastic cover? and what's 'those things?' you sound like some obasan. :icon17:


if you're talking about the battery cover surround piece there's 4 tabs and you need to take the cover off in order to access the 2.

Yeah, which covers? Also offered to send you a few of the triangles (n Kenchan's DIY thread) but didn't hear back

yeah the surround pieces that you need to take off to drill the hole and put the triangles on.

Didn't see your post in the topic shack. well im gonna look around if I can find them tommorow else il get back to you :)
