Default Hatch Closing

I have recently been experiencing the same problem with my C6. I just found this list, but have had the car since 10/22/04. I would swear the hatch closed with the doors/windows closed with a light drop from about 6" for the first few weeks. Has anyone taken this issue to a dealer with any success?

The glove box is the only thing that I get an occasional noise from. Would like to know a fix if anyone has one?

Default Definitely if you leave a door open the hatch shuts closed

It is much easier to shut that is for sure. Takes alot less effort.

Default Closing Hatch

When first got my C6 I could just lay the deck down and it would suck it down. Then it stopped and I had to push (finger prints). I took it back to dealer and they adjusted. It worked find againg until my neice slammed the deck shut. I guess it can get out of adjustment. I have not taken back for readjustment but plan too.

Interesting information. What did they adjust the first time, the lock-down or the struts that hold the hatch open?
