thanks....anyone have an exact figure? I was thinking maybe some of the carbon fiber hatch guys may have weighed the OEM hatch prior to installing the carbon hatch to get an idea on savings...

I had to install some new hatch shocks when i worked at the dealer on a few and the hatch feels so damn heavy. Like at least 100 pounds heavy. Would be nice to actually see one on a scale. It has to be at least 100 pounds though. You wouldnt believe how hard it is to lift without the shocks on it.

My OEM hatch complete with everything is 76 lbs, bare it's 50lbs, and for those saying the glass is heavy it's all of 14lbs.

I find that very hard to believe... I know glass is one of the heaviest parts of any car and part for part is considerably heavier then aluminum and steel.

so how much weight are you really saving by going with a carbon hatch? Is lexan some kind of clear plexi-glass? If the oem glass is that heavy, isn't it damaging on the aftermarket C/F hatch material? Which manufacture makes a C/F hatch that's exact same shape as the OEM?
