Hey, I just bought a 2001 T/a ws6. Already have problems. My hatch wont close all the way it seems. The light still stays on even when ive pushed down on it. Anyway to fix this?

you could adjust the rubber bumpers on each side to let the trunk shut further down. That may help.

Sounds like its only getting the first catch. You need to loosen the bolts and move the latch up just a hair until it latches on the second catch. Then it will fully depress the arm next to the latch that tells the light to go off.
