For the Newbes here, it's probably worth mentioning that the Type 3
Owner's Manual warns not to let the rear hatch lid fly up on it's
own. You have to hold on to it and cushion the stop. It's a habit you
really MUST develop.
I suspect that most hinge problems stem from people letting the hatch
stop itself. It's really a design flaw, but it may have been common
to many cars of that era. People who are used to modern cars never
expect the hatch to fly up and hit it's stop like that.
