ok yesterday, i opened up my hatch. i pull up on the glass and all of a sudden the two shocks come out of the glass and fall down. im like WTF? upon closer inspection. the nut on the glass that the shocks screw into are totally stripped out. my guess is that they just got stripped out from all the opening and closing of the hatch for 11 years.. i ordered new nuts from majestic honda at $6.95 piece. jeezz.

 

u sure someone didnt do this as a prank? sounds wierd they would both fall out at the same time

maybe someone tryed jackin your shYt

 

no...no prank and no one tried jacking my ****. ill get pics up.

 

thats weird never heard of that

 

YEP it happened to my friend once...i guess over a period of time they rattle loose?

 

i bet some of you guys on here have them starting to strip out..

no, mine didnt come out because they rattleds loose, the nut stripped out on its own. the little round black thing on the outside of the glass on the two corners. thats the nut.

i think someone tried twisting them out

 

happened to me. opened my hatch all the way up, b/c the shocks are a lil dead and one flew down... left a small dent too . both were stripping, so i bought new ones (worked at a dealership at the time ). fixed the problem between $5-15 (not sure about $$ again).

just get new thingies....

 

same to me also, but i think mine did it from riding around with the hatch open when i was at the beach.

why would someone do that? if it was someone trying to break into my car, what good would detatching the hatch shocks do? there is a lock at the bottom middle of the glass that keeps it shut now the shocks.
