Through the hatch... (fwd)

[Mahoney Dave <CC938999@eng.cabot.nf.ca>]

DO not put wd-40 in the lock!! It dissolves any grease put there by the 
factory.  Also it doesn't last and you WILL have the problem not too long 
after!!. My mechanic buddy says they use transmission fluid in the locks 
. This cleans the lock as well as lubricates them and keeps them from 
freezing.

.... he he, it's that fun in a Scirocco ?  It was no big deal in our old
Rabbit or Dasher, but squeezing through the hatch (looking out for the
speakers) and smooshing into the front is not for those of us with a robust
figure.  I used lots and lots of WD-40 while the car was dry, to lube the
locks and dry out any H20 sitting in the lock.
