FIND A 94-95 HATCH IF YOU CAN!!!!
You will have holes to fill after completing this!!!

WARNING: If you are not comfortable doing this yourself get help.
I would highly advise using a 94-95 hatch if there is anyway to do so.
I take no reponsability for your misinterpatation of my lingo, nor am I
responsable in anyway for you choosing to do this to your hatch. I am also
not the greatest speller in the world, so you have been warned.



STEP 1: I bought 2 metric set screws, (head less)(they use an allen wrench inside the screw itself) the same size as stock hatch bolts. (available at ace hardware)

STEP 2: Screw the setscrew into front 2 spoiler holes so they barely stick out beyond flush.(be careful adjusting spoiler on car as the will scratch the
hell out of your paint) If you are doing it alone cover the hole area to be drilled
with a rag on both sides.

STEP 3: Line up holes in hatch with 2 post holes (the .390" ones in back that actually line up not the slots.)

STEP 4: Start screws in back holes till a little less than finger tight and try to center the bolt hole in hatch with the tapped hole in spoiler as best you can.

STEP 5: Remove rags from under set screws in front part of spoiler.

STEP 6:Lightly snug rear bolts(a little more than finger tight) and re center
as close as possable.

STEP7: Tap down on front part of spoiler lightly (with hand, NOT hammer)
this will create a witness mark(sratch in paint) from the set screws into the hatch itself.

STEP8: Carefully remove spoiler.

STEP9: Remove setscrews from spoiler. ( look at hatch to make sure it is clearly marked, if not, skip 9 go back to step 3 and start over, tapping a little harder)




Step 10: MOVE WIREING HARNESS IN HATCH OUT OF WAY!!!!
Use small drill to start with. ( I used 1/8 in and worked up from there)
I drilled the holes and double checked everything as I went. Drill through
both walls of hatch(must be part open or you will drill into car)


STEP 11: From inside of hatch, drill with hole saw up to 3/4" (INSIDE WALL ONLY)
Using smaller hole as pilot.

Good stuff guys. I would recommend buying a 94-95 hatch as well if you can find one... I got a really good deal on a 94 hatch for my 98 for 125 bucks with the glass and everything. It was already red too which was nice. smile.gif
