Hatch Lid Too High

good idea. is there anything to screw into there?

 

I don't really know, I just used an example figure of 12", the bottom of the lower rear window ledge is near there.

 

I also like the idea of twelve inches, as a rule!

 

What's afoot here ?

 

why am i feeling inadequate?

 

We got the measure of your quips, already!

 

Yeah there are way more cool things on that website.....

Ohh, do they do like brokering of the Japanese products that we don't have access to? Cool.

 

So, after reading through this thread, I asked my wife, who is only 5', to please come out to the garage and show me how she closes the hatch on our car. She did, and came off her heels a bit but, had NO trouble getting her fingers into the handle and closing the hatch. She asked me why we did this, then she laughed when I told her and said some people just need to exercise more.

 

The OP is in a suburb of NYC. Don't they tend to do things differently there?

 

i noticed the hand holds on the prime hatch were on the bottom, instead of inside. is the lift back on the bottom as well?

 

Yes

 

and are they the same height off the ground as prime? i had my wife lower the hatch before our test drive. she didn't have a problem, but she's 5'-5".

 

I don't know about the height of the handle, but I am about that tall and have no issue, with or without using the handle. I only looked for the handle out of curiosity due to this thread.

 

prime might be higher due to the extended carbon hatch, but i didn't measure it.

 

I'd like to get a Prime when I have to change in '19, but it don't think that option will be available on my scheme.
