You can add 2-3 penny's or washers to the hatch springs to help hatch open up. Or add a rubber bump stop to bottom of hatch where spring hits.

I actually had the tint done this past week also 20% solar guard high performance supreme if anyone is interested.

Looks good. Looks a lot lighter than 20% though. I wonder hope much companies very.

Did you end up cutting through those factory clips with the fishing line or did you have to unclip them when the fishing line broke?

I actually fed the fishing line around the first two and the rest just started to pop out. There are seven of them total. I might try the penny thing just figured there was some sort of factory fix for the standard nismo wing which weighs about the same.
