1991 hatch mechanism
Need help!! My son has a 1991 RS the hatch motor continues to run. The hatch will not catch. The one that pulls it down. Any Suggestions?????
I have a 1990 RS convertible also which still works great.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wih some research on this sight which lead me to Top Down Solutions where a guy said a new $10 gear nut should solve the problem. He said it sounds like the teeth were shot. I also ordered a new set of glides since they were in pieces when I took the mechanism apart.

same problem wth my 89, you can order a rear hatch rebuild kit with reinforced parts for about 100 bucks, there four screws holding that rear panel on and then you remove the entire rear hatch assembly a couple bolts, you obviously gotta disconnect the wiring harnesses. then you remove it rebuild, reinstall it. bam your good to go. fyi, i did this over a year ago so i cant remember exactly how its done it comes iwth instructions, howver theres something that spins out make sure to count the amount of turns it takes to spin it out it should be 7 or 8 if you dont then it wont work atall. use white lithium grease. fairly easy fix.

maybe im wrong but i think i seen like 4 or 5 of those motors on ebay yesterday for around $50 why not buy one of those???
theres seems to be a lot of people parting 3rd gens on there lately. maybe someone went stealing cars?
