My 89 b2 eddie bauer has the rear defrost and wiper. The lift struts are all but worn out (work about 80 percent in the warm and 25 percent in the cold.) I replaced the gray bushings that the latch closes on . When I close the hatch the drivers side doesn't latch completely. If I push on the corner (at the latch) it latches completley. This is a pain because the cab light stays on if it doesnt close all the way. It's also fairly difficult to open. It's almost impossible to open on any kind of slope. Is this normal or are the latches themselves worn out/dirty. Those gray bushings also seem to get chewed up quickly as well, but the ones for the driver and passenger door aren't even there anymore and they close fine.
