On the morning drive...

My rear hatch likes to open. Doing 75 on 91 West, i hit a turn and feel a nice, refreshing breeze through the cab. I look in my rear-view to see that alas! My hatch has opened! I couldn't stop chuckling, and seeing the faces of other drivers was enough to keep my laughing. I guess they were waiting for the caltrops to deploy, or the oil slick to develop.

Yesterday i just aligned my rear-hatch as not to catch on the body anymore (one side would open and the frame would flex). I guess i need new latches for the back?

heehee, it does close and latch, it's just when i turn there's enough body flex for the pins to dislodge from the latches methinks.

I'll have to snap a pic one morning because it's too funny
