Re: hatch door problems
i had the same problem and it turned out to be the hatch hinge was shot. the little plastic bushings were gone on the hinge.

Re: hatch door problems
The bushing is the first thing to check, like stated. I also had a problem with my old GT where the hatch was not lined up properly, and I have to un-do the bolts and re-align the hatch.

Re: hatch door problems
Check your hatch striker, I had the same problem with my hatch rattling on my 93 GT. Replaced the striker and all is well. Got the strike at Discount Auto for $12.00.

Re: hatch door problems
i just replaced the stricker and the rubber bumbers on the sides. the ratteling is still there. to realign the top do you have to undo all the bolts.

Re: hatch door problems
once you take the access panel off from the roof, there are to bolts to loosen, thats it.
