    Until I can figure out a way, they will just have to run along the outside, securely of course.
    Fish tape.

    Used it to tug Goldie (Kelsey's Tracer wagon) out of the mud.

    Decided against mounting the hitch and taking the Festiva to GA... it's making more funny noises, and has recently gone back to running like a POS.

    Guess next week the trans is coming out and being swapped into my old Auto, and this car is the primary candidate for a lift and the diesel swap.

    I hauled 400 pounds of concrete in the hatch area. With the backseat in it's regular position. Later I hauled a full-size door inside the car with the hatch closed. Try that with a sedan.

    I'd worry more as to why that guy is following you everywhere...

    Only thing I can think of is that the motor isn't powerful enough. I will try disconnection the lock barrel from the rod tomorrow to see if that take enough strain off the actuator to lock the hatch while it is closed. That or douse the latch with WD40.
