my rear hatch motor isnt working. but it pulls down enough to be locked. it bought the car yesterday, so im relatively new to the whole camaro scene. in between my window buttons on my console is the hatch button and all that happens when i push it is the motor clickssssssssss and yeah.. so how do i open the hatch up? and if i open it think it will close enough to lock again? the car is a 91 rs. thanks

Try using your key and a friend to convince it to open. Don't get too rough. After it's open remove your body panels in the way of the motor and if its' the way I think it is there should be a spring there with the motor that. Go to a local hardware store and get one that's the same length and stuff, but has a higher spring rate. That should fix your problem. That is, if the motor's still in good shape.

If you have the rear hatch pull-down motor, it's a screw type (no springs)

For the rear hatch:
Check out Top-Down Solutions. They have a really great pull-down hatch repair for the 3rd gens. I bought his kit, and it has been perfect. Lon is a really good guy too, and will help you over the phone if you need it.

Here is a link for it: http://www.top-downsolutions.com/index.php?cPath=22

Thanks for telling him that, I don't really know a whole lot about 3rd gens. Asside from the fact that they came with a bunch of different engines. And 95% of them are slow as hell stock.
