hatch sounds violent when openning
When I hit the hatch button it sounds pretty violent when opening, like its being sprung up way to hard. Also kind of have to close it really hard or you end up going and pressing down on each corner to get it to latch. Any one had any similar experiences?

Same here - makes a strange noise when opening as it is releasing the pressure inside the car. As far a closing the hatch, since the car is so tight the only way to close it is to have a door or window open. Otherwise you will be shuffling around and pressing on both sides to get it to close. One of the C5 nuances.

It definitely makes a noise, but I wouldn't call it violent. Unless it's being held in place to tightly, there is an adjustment in each corner (at least the z has it) that you can turn the *****. They might be too high which would cause the latch to hold too tightly which might account for the greater than normal sound when opening the hatch.

That's exactly what it sounds like. I will give it a once over in the morning. Thanks!
