hatch pull down jamming
The gear stripped out on my hatch pull down a couple days. Big shout out to TDS for quick shipment on replacement parts . Got it all put back together. Runs fine when actuated with my finger on the switch, goes all the way down, all the way back up. But when I lower the hatch on it it goes down a little then makes a grinding noise (like when a motor gets jammed, but is still trying to spin). Still works fine with my finger. Only got it to "click" once but there was such a large gap I could see daylight across the hatch. What is the proper adjustment procedure for these thing??
Tried adjusting it with all the bolts loose, and just lowering the hatch. But with the car being a notchback, I cant fit my fat @$$ between the hump and hatch when it is closed.
