Greetings,
As the topic said, my 03 4runner's hatch door won't stay locked or latched. Consequently when the vehical moves, the hatch door starts to open (lifted upward).
I looked closely at the lockhole located on the hatch door. I pushed a small metal rod through the 'lockhole" located on the bottom of the hatch door (simulating a condtion when the door is being closed). I noticed that a small locking piece of metal started to grab on the rod very tie. I can hear a latching click. But, about 3 ~ 5 seconds later, it automatically unlatched and consequently dropped the rod.
My superstitious wife thought it was a "bad sign" from the flat screen TV that we were about to bring home from BestBuy store. After an hour, or longer, of trying to get the hatch door closed with no luck, I told the Bestbuy guys to take the flat screen TV back
After the TV was gone, the door still would not close
So, it wasn't because of the TV
.
Any comments/suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Cheers
