I checked the faq and did not see this. If I missed it I'm sorry. Has anyone had problems with their door locks(the tumbler) turning? I mean my slot that I insert the key is pointing at 2 o'clock position. What happens is the key is so hard to turn it bends. Also the hatch will not "pop" with the lever in floor. I have to insert the key and turn it and lift the hatch. Anyone got this issue? :help

For the doorlocks, I suggest you save about 200-300 and get an alarm for you car, that way you don't have to spend the money on fixing the door cylinders, plus you can get added security of an alarm. If you don't have power doorlocks you can get them added about 20-30 a door depending on where you go, we charge people 25 for each door.

About your hatch, maybe your cable is not taught enough to pull the lever itself, check to see if your cable that runs back to the hatch is taught.

YES! K car strikes. The latch in the rear needs to be adjusted downward, it's sitting too high and won't release the lid when the cable is pulled. Very common on S13s. Cable should be fine.
