Good. I was real scared about that for a second.

Is there a latch below the window or is it opened from the driver seat only?

There is a lock on the back of my sport!

You must have an ultra rare S4 lol.

The only FC with a trunk is the vert.

The key hole for the hatch is right under the 3rd brake light on the coupe, and next to the right tail light on the 'verts.

All FC's came with a key hole for opening the back hatch.

Or you should replace your worn out hatch struts so that it works like it used too.

Well, considering the weather seal is what sticks on mine, I don't think it's going to help much.

Mmm, i had the same problem james, but i used windex and it cleared it up. I think it needs to be "unstickified" once every couple months. least in the northern mid west states
