“…without giving a disclaimer to everyone who uses the trunk, makes me feel like a jerk.”

After repairing the tailgate latch a few times, I decided I would rather feel like a jerk.

Here’s a link to my solution. No busted latches in 7 years!!! (my jerkiness, however, remains unabated).

Tailgate Sign/Labels to Help Prevent Slamming of Rear Hatch

The links to the graphic files no longer work, but if you’re interested, I will email the files to anyone that wants them.

1985 244 "Alfsen" (wife's car - the good one)
1984 245 "Buster" (the kid's car, now sold)
1985 245 "Cosmo" (parts car, sold off for move to WA)
1985 245 "Daisy" (back seat down, full of tools, the work truck)
1985 245 "Earl (CA vehicle 'retirement' program)

Can you tell I prefer the 1985 model 240? Better headlights than the plastic 1986+ and nicer belt adjustments than the 1984s and earlier!
