I just got my wing installed, and I noticed that the back hatch does not stay open. Is it just mine or does everyone have the same problem. Thanks for the help. <M>

So now you have to hold the hatch up in order to put stuff in the back? I'm interested in getting this wing. Is the wing that heavy that it weighs down the hatch when it's open?

I'm interested to hear the responses.

a little bit off topic but could u post some pics?

mine stays open...but it doesn't open without lifting it the whole way up....any added weight on the trunk lid will have this effect on the z.

My hatch operates the same with or without the wing........PERFECT!

Mine stays open if I go all the way up. I can't stop half way anymore. <M>

take the "weight" that nissan put on ..now that the wing is on you dont need the added weight..the wing isnt heavy..the weight is under the black plastic hatch cover..its right in the center when you take off the cover...it kinda looks like a very important piece when you look at it (4"X3" black box) but i was told its just a weight

hope that solves your problem

zeroday

so you removed the weight? otherwise that doesnt make much sense since we basically have the same setup

chattermark

Kewl.. I am going to look for the weight. Thanks Man. <M>

I didnt do anything, maybe my shocks are just built a little better? You know that nothing is built exactly the same, right????????? I have to lift up on my hatch but thats how its always been, it stays up perfect and has since before the wing or after..........I don't know what else to say, sorry if you are having problems.

zeroday

heh. im not having problems i just have to push the trunk lid up manually whereas before it would go up on it's own.

fluidz

ya thats basically what i have to do as well but i really cant remember if i had to do that before ther wing...........oh well!!!! Take Care Bro!

Does anyone know how to take that black plastic hatch cover off? I tried taking it off by pulling on it, but I feel like I'm going to crack the plastic if I pull any harder.

Any suggestions, tips or pics? Is that weight bolted in?

Mine's same as the other's, holds up fine when it's all the way up. Only real problem I've seen is if you used the remote un open the trunk it will come back down on the latch. Now its almost a 2 handed evolution where you press on the trunk button underneath while your pulling up on the trunk. But hey, small price to pay for having your ride look good right??

I went to the dealer and they are replacing the shocks. So hopefully that will help out. Will let you all know what happens. <M>
