blue, cascade crew has no system for users uploading images to the crew server. we pay for our bandwidth and thus ask users to host there own images. if you have somthing you realy need hosted you can sweet talk dewey. Wink

Well, they did make two different kind of hatch latches. The non-powered one is way lighter, but you have to slam it. I'll see if I can find one to take a pic of. I know my friend Rich has a couple laying around.

Thanks Tony. I figured it was something like that.

does anyone have the TGO link to guys going from the power pull down to the slammer?

I just put two little tack welds on the track to keep the wheels from going down to far so its tough to latch...

I dunno, I just dont like the idea of stuff kind of being "gypsy-rigged"

thanks for all the great information guys!

here soon i'm going to gut the interior and redo everything (get ready for paint) so i may have to replace it then....assuming it's there.
it sounds like there's a good chance the car had one, but i do believe it's broke. it sounds like a pretty cool little item.

i saw one on ebay, that's why i asked about it.
anybody got a working one laying around?
maybe i'll post that in the "wanted" section.

Apparently, by looking at the pictures at Top-Down Solutions, the one I have lying around is for 88-91. The one in my 92 must be different.

the 91-92 PPD units are different yes.

Hey, what a coincidence! My pull down just stopped working about a month ago. I looked at it, but saw nothing obviously wrong.... it happened when my back window seal gave out and filled my hatch area with 4 inches of water, killing my amp and presumably my hatch pull down relay too.... Crying or Very sad

Can anyone point me to the location of this relay? I really hate having to slam my hatch down like I'm trying to kill it.

If you look at the picture posted, the relay is hanging down on the bottom of the hatch latch motor thingy.

Well, now I feel stupid... Doh!

I guess I just assumed it would not be in such an intelligent place, and I don't recall seeing one there when I tore my well apart...

Thanks! Next time I'll think about it a little longer before posting. Embarassed

i have the "wonderful" hatch pulldown in my 91. its broken though. so my hatch doesnt close completely it locks, but it sticks up and i have EVERYONE who pumps my gas tell me my trunks open. blah blah. not fun for gravel roads either. lots of dust.

I can't tell if I had the hatch pull down or just the electric hatch release. There is nothing there now but the hatch has a black lever type thing with 4 metal contact points. The only way I can open the hatch right now is with the key. I do have the hatch release switch in the center console and I can hear it making a clicking sound in the rear of the car.

I did some researching and found that that 4 point contact thing is indeed to supply power to the rear wiper. I've deleted mine (a nickel works well Rolling Eyes

) so I have no need for it. but there is a rectangular hole in that plastic interior panel next the the hook on the body so I'm thinking that I used to have a pull down as there is nothing in that area.

Hmm... I have the metal contact point, but no rear wiper. How sure are you guys of that?
