either the hatch struts are too weak (they do hold up the hatch though, right?), or something is wrong with your locking mechanism..
are you saying that if you don't simultaneously lift the hatch as you unlock it, it will stay in position and remain locked?
Yes, I have to turn the lock key a quarter of a turn and hold it there and lift the hatch off the lock. Its get frustrating when I'm going shopping. I can't open my hatch with one hand.
At least now I know I have a problem with my locking mechanism. I got to figure out somehow to fix it.
