I suspect the struts are worn out, but can't see how to change them if can't open the hatch.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

07 Targa-hatch will not open. Lock releases but hatch does not move up. If pushed up from inside it will open about 1" and then hits a stop. If let back down the latch mechanism operates and pulls it down tight as it should. I suspect the struts are worn out, but can't see how to change them if can't open the hatch.
