The spot where the weatherstripping runs over the hatch lift mounts is too tight and forces the weatherstrip to sit higher in that area. This is making my hatch not close correctly. I could either: 1) grind down the removable part of the mount. This might not even totally fix the problem as the non removable part may also be interfering 2) cut away the lower portion of the weatherstrip. This should alleviate the fitment issue but that small (~2") length would not be attached to the body. Has anyone else had this issue? Here are photos of more of the stock style weatherstrip in my 260Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use any weatherstripping adhesive in that area to hold it to the body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just trimmed it a little around the bracket, The hatch is closed most of the time anyhow. I have not had any issues It is a little tight around the hinges too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
