Hatch motor problem
Alright my hatch motor went down and stayed the motor kept spinning so i unplugged it well yesterday i recieved my replacement gear nut to put on it from TDS. I put it in went up and down 3 times put the motor back in the car. And bam does the same damn thing. Motor still spins and no movement. It helps when i push on it or smack it though.

Car: 92 RS
Engine: a slow one
Transmission: a crunchy one
Axle/Gears: a whiny one
sounds like the switch it hits that tells it to stop has finally worn down, not letting it push the little lever all the way down, so it still thinks it's up a little
try leaning on it while it's down, and seeing if it shuts off if you push it down a certain amount
if so
thats your problem
i'd rip that thing out and try to build some material back onto that lever somehow, or possibly just bend it up a little bit

Car: on the hunt for a 3rd gen again
the guys at BB broke mine off while installing my system they kept slammin it down i guess and didn't know it was an automatic pull down trunk. i just went to a junk yard and got a manual lock and had it welded on for $10

the tracks are in awesome shape, i bought the gear from TDS cause they said it would fix it if the motor kept running and it wouldnt come up. Now it's a different problem apparently, im about to go get one out of a scrapyard and be done with it.

It's main purpose was to pull the glass down snug without anyone having to slam it. Additionally, it automatically released the hatch slightly when you opened either side door, and it retightened the hatch after you shut the doors again. The purpose was to let trapped air escape fom the car so you didn't have to slam the side doors."

It wont seal at least i couldnt get mine to close all the way. I got it at the top right now and it closes and opens but doesnt shut all the way. I just have it this way for now cause the hatch is comin off soon and i dont have a battery in.

yeah i used the latch striker switch and let the thing go down i had to help it by pushing down on it but as soon as it clicked to go back up i unpluged it. It seals just like it used to but it's a pain to close. Mainly because i have louvers and they rattle from having to slam it. I took it back out and it does it with no load on it. It may have already stripped my new gear.....
