#1 There is a Rear Hatch Repair Kit (8619383-6), also these clips (quan 4, 9132876-5; quan. 4, 9145885-1) may be useful, as the rear hatch was repaired on my car just prior to me buying it.

#2 I'd only be guessing...

#3 More cost effective power? My opinion, based on owning a '93 GLT for 3 years, is NO!, there are no cost effective mods. Even the expensive ones (exhaust, chip) won't add but a few horses. I added a K&N panel filter and disconnected the hot air intake from the air box, and to be honest, neither made much difference.

#4 swaybars worked great on my '93 (www.IPDUSA.com) I have a strut tower brace on my '96 (www.OMPUSA.com) Bilsteins are popular struts/shocks. For many upgrade suggestions and places to buy, check out www.volvospeed.com

#5 Right from a dealer (expensive) or hunt around for a used one (cheaper)
