Hatch is loose, easy fix?
Is there an easy fix for a hatch on a 4th gen camaro? Everytime i hit a bump, my hatch slams up and down. I have about half an inch of play on the latch. Thanks.

im dying to know this too. Theres no pulldown like thirdgens so thats not the case. Also, I tried to lower the latch but its at its lowest point

try lowering the latch as far as it can go and try turning (so that they come out more) the rubber posts

I believe its just 2 or 4 bolts on the top of that hatch that controll it so you could loosen the bolts and have someone else adjust and play with it.

There must be an adjustment at the striker, or some kind of bumpers that might adjust or wear. I would think the adjustments at the top would do for/aft & square it in the hatch, not up & down. But I don't know 4th gens.

Feather-light suspension, Konis just couldn't hold. I'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors.

well I fixed it two ways.. one is to screw those rubber things a bit higher so it's harder to close the hatch, the other is to pull back the carpet and there is one bolt on the locking mechanism on the latch that will allow you to play it up + down a bit.
