any fellow integra owners have this problem?
i dunno if it's just my car or if all of us have this problem.
when i go to shut the hatch on my car, something happens between the latch and the hinge that to this day, has been a mystery to me. 70% of the time, it closes fine. the other 30%, it doesn't close. feels like i'm slamming the hatch on a steel bar, it won't latch. so i start screwing with the latch with my finger, kick my bumper, do a dance, pray to the gods of door shutting, and then after the 4th try or so, it closes.
it astounds me because i look at the latch and it's in the same position as it was when it would shut fine....i'm so lost as to how this phenomena works, so i wondered if any of you had this problem?

Yea Ive had that same problem a couple of times with my teg, I think that it's because the latch isnt back to the proper position for the hatch to close and lock in, it sticks a little bit so yea , probably a little bit of wd-40 would do the job!

So, because of your inability to function WE need to give you slack?
Maybe working on a car isnt such a great idea for a stoner.. maybe some Nintendo perhaps?
SEARCH the forums for your answer....I bet you are lazy and like people to serve you all the time like this.

Make sure the latch is aligned properly, and not loose. WD 40 will not help you.
