Thank you for all you do! I look forward to seeing the additional posts on the CE hatch. I am about to start work on mine that is stuck closed. Wish me luck!

Right.... Finally started my repair on the Hatch.

Having got it all apart, the re-drilling of holes on the hinge brackets now makes sense.

But I fear I still need to find the next instalment from L-46Man.

Unfortunately, I learned from a friend, Hal passed away last February.

RIP Unkle Hal.

I've met you once in person. You were a great guy..
