Jessica Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 My problem is, if you look at how my hatch is made, the whole gowdang back glass flexes like a mofo. Subs up port back. If i go subs back port back the taillights and hatch go apeshit. Doesn't really matter if i have up/up, up/back or back/back its all the same. Now, my hatch is closed tight as heck right now, the actual metal part doesn't move. You cant really put deadener on glass so my solution is to wait about a year and when i have the funds just do a b pillar wall. /problem solved Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

dog24fret Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Would going to oversized weather stripping and self adhesive foam weather stripping (the kind used for house doors) combined tighten the hatch. It would take any and all slack out of the hatch makes it harder to shut but very tight. Did that on a accord hatch with 4 12" fosgate power series.

It would take any and all slack out of the hatch makes it harder to shut but very tight. Did that on a accord hatch with 4 12" fosgate power series. This is what I did. The hatch still flexes like crazy, but even if it moves up to the max amount it can (without breaking the latch obviously) the extra stripping insures that the seal is still there. I used this: http://www.walmart.c...-Large/19395306 it has a nice side affect of making the hatch pop lever work again (the 23 yr old stock seal didn't have enough spring left to lift the hatch up enough to keep it from locking again once I let the lever go lol). I ran a strip around the whole hatch (sticky side to the hatch itself) so that it lined up with the stock weather stripping on the opening.

HunterJohnson Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thanks for the weather stripping idea guys!!! Helped SOOO much!! Hatch problem fixed a decent amount and not much rattling!! I used this stuff, I put it on the hatch where the weather stripping isnt so it pushes alot of pressure on the latch, best $7 spent Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
