magnusonsubie Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Rear Hatch Garnish shipped today. Replacement hatch latch should be in today or tomorrow at the dealer for me to pick up. Then its just getting creative with breaking the old latch out. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Document your fix, please. I was planning on it. From what I found there hasn't been anyone else with the same latch issue I am having. So I will definitely document what I do to fix it as well as list all the symptoms I had. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX USA Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Have you asked at a body shop if there are any tricks to opening your hatch? It seems like something similar could happen in a rear end collision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might call one this afternoon but I would think they might cut out the latch someway. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holla Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Rolling shot looks great. I'm guessing the paint is coming off the spats though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusonsubie Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Rolling shot looks great. I'm guessing the paint is coming off the spats though? Yeah driving home over the southern Oregon pass this past winter destroyed them. They are getting resprayed in April/May though. I go on training cruise and my brother is going to paint a few different parts for me. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
