Cardinal Rule (to myself & my family since my car was my one-owner,
new vehicle)
Never, NEVER, EVER
unlock the button, lift the hatch & let it fly.
I even think I remember the salesman that sold us the car in 1969,
cautioned us against that practice.

Oh, I'm sure there was the odd time when it happened.  I was even
guilty of the "hands full, raise the hatch, and it flew up & hit the
stops" which probably damaged the hinge over 43 years ... but it was
the rare occasion.
