Default Avant Owners --- I cannot get my rear hatch to stay closed! The locking mechanism is not catching?

Anyone else have this problem. It has not been that cold here in the last 3 days and it did not freeze up in -20 weather so I do not think thats what it is. I can ge the latch to move with my finger or screw driver but it is not staying secure on the loop that it hooks to.

Any one else have this problem, or knwo if an easy way to get in there and see whats going on??? I would hate to go the dealer for this.

I knew this was coming! But the Avant doesn't look like a squashed VW Bug. :-)

Default True, good one, but I can definetly tell when your coming or going

cause we just have to look for the kids and groceries in the back windows.

Default how's that? The sedan trunk latch impervious to failure somehow??

or do you just not use it ever?
