Buy yourself a new rear hatch? That's how simple it is.

[mastaflash05]

how much do they run? im not really banging my head against the wall, i knew what it was going to be like. how hard is it to seperate from the glass and such? is it complicated, or prety easy?

call local scrap/junk yards and see if they have any hatches in good shape. the glass usually comes with it unless it's shattered.

hey bill in that post it says that primer absorbs liquid, i am in the process of buying a car that is all primered do i need to paint it with some paint to protect the car or will it be ok?

[Bill Roberts]

Primer coat 1 can absorb moisture, 5 coats, no problem I did 5 coats, downpours have not penetrated enough to noitice.

Always paint primer after sanding if you can. Mine is painted now...looking good.

id prefer gettin a fresh piece of metal compared to bondo and screening...at least cut out the rust and weld a new piece of metal in...thats if u want to do it right :coolugh:

[Flybert]

Cut, weld new metal in, and wangan. Or just go get one off a junker.
