How did you fix the striker pin for the back hatch? I'm having the same troubles
i found a bushing that was the same outer diameter as the sleeve thing on the other striker and drilled it out to fit the pin....worked great...i used a plastic type of bushing hoping it would be a little more quiet.

How much lift do you have? Maybe you need the 400 arm?

I did mine for the first time recently, my suggestions:
1. Glue, lots of glue
2. Go slow
3. Glue, lots of glue

Hopefully 2 cans of adhesive is enough. Got 2.5 yds. of fabric and the glue on that auction site for $62.
