Hatch cover holders - little black plastic things

[tiAn@usiw.net (Christian Els)]

These things are junk and broken on every parts car I have encountered, so
no easy sources for cheap replacements.

I opted to use 1/4" eye-bolts instead. Slip the tangs on the hatch cover
into the 'eye' then use two nuts to secure the threaded shaft to the parcel
shelf through the same holes the factory clips used.

Cost about $0.93 at Lowe's. I spray painted mine black to make them a bit
less noticeable.

Cheers,

> I've got a broken/missing hatch cover holder - those little black plastic
things that the hatch cover pivots from.  (Hatch cover may not be the
appropriate term - I'm talking about the cover that "hides" the contents of
what's in the back of the car.)  Those plastic things are brittle, so they
break easy.  I tried to use the ones on my parts car, but they broke also.
I tried to rig it up with a cotter pin, but with minimal success.  Anyone
found a good replacement?  Ideas?
