Dan:

Over on the other thread, you said "Then, I had to hack the crap out of the hatch to get access to the bottom of the mounting surface for the wing."

What does that mean? You had to cut holes from the inside of the hatch?

Now that you've modded the wing to fit and been through the whoie procedure, how hard will it be to make the hatch mods on my car?

If you open your hatch and look on the outside edges of the top (where the wing would mount) there's only about a half-inch of material to work with. One needs to cut into the structure of the hatch as the wing mounting holes land right on the edge of the structure. I just did a really poor job. A cutoff wheel and 5 minutes would net results 95% better than what I did. I can text/email you a pic...not gonna post that "handy work" on here
