Hatch on wagon needs slamming to close 850

posted by  someone claiming to be timeeeeeV on  Mon Sep 19 04:35 CST 2005 [RELATED]

So...my hatch on my 850 wagon needs a good slamming to close. Should I replace the hatch catch as it looks a little worn? Is there a secret I havn't heard of? Thanks in advance.

    Hatch on wagon needs slamming to close 850

    I had this problem. I moved the catch (on the car body NOT the Hatch) about 3mm towards the rear, it has adjustability and is held by two star screws, they can be very hard to unscrew so be careful not to burr them.

    I had to use a spanner on the star-bit to unscrew, because a screwdriver type handle was never going to move them. Make sure you tighten up the screws enough, otherwise it will move back again.

    Cheers

    Dave
