Consumer Description

THE REAR HATCH HAS TO BE LIFTED MANUALLY AND HELD UP AT ALL TIMES OR IT WILL CRASH DOWN ON YOU WITH THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE HATCH. I HAD TO USE BOTH OF MY HANDS TO GET IT OPENED. I HAD TO PHYSICALLY HOLD IT UP TO ACCESS ANYTHING IN THE BACK. IT'S EXTREMELY HEAVY. I WAS WORRIED IT WOULD COME CRASHING DOWN ON MY BACK, HEAD OR ARM, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, NO ENGINE RUNNING. THIS IS NOT A REMOTE OPEN HATCH.
