Do the back glass hatches on S5's all weigh the same?
the one on my parts car seems lighter. when I pop the hatch it lifts up fine. the glass on my GXL feels heavier. when I pop the glass on it , it will not lift by itself.
It is not the shocks because I swapped them out with no difference. the GXL glass had the wiper motor and wiper removed. thinking about swapping but the tint will not match. Mike |
The glass with rear wiper are slightly heavier.

Ice-any idea how much more? I take it is heavier for structural support due to the wiper & motor..
I know it made a difference in the hatch being able to open or not open by itself. |

I know it made a difference in the hatch being able to open or not open by itself. Check the hinges and seal. They may both be dirty and causing the problem. |
I have had a problem ever since I got the car that when I shut it I must put a lot of pressure on both latches in order to get the hatch to lock shut.
It is a major pain. Can I raise the hatch locks up some to make it close without going thru all this hassle and still create a good seal with the weatherstrip? I am going to check it out tommorrow as well as the hinges. The rear tint matches the side tint and I really dont want to swap glass just for the weight difference so I am looking to correct it elsewhere. may have to buy new shocks for hatch. also when I pop the hatch and then shut the side door the hatch pops up just enough to get my fingers under it to manually open it. thanks |
Edit: can't read.
