  • hatch spring replacement

    hey all, i remember reading on some website that the last of the fbody's had trouble releasing the hatch occasionally. especially in winter. mine was doing this last winter. they said it wasn't actually freezing, it was just the spring for the hatch release being weak. There was also a very easy fix for it. you just had to piggyback another spring on the hatch release spring. does anyone know what size spring it was or would actually work?
