Coupe Hatch Question
Is the rear hatch supposed to open all the way by itself when released? Mine has only been popping open enough to lift it manually about a foot and then the pistons take over the rest of the way (ever since I got it back from the body shop having it replaced). I cannot remember if this is normal behavior?

You have to manually lift the hatch. It will only pop up enough for you to get your fingers in there and lift.
