New Rear Hatch Reciever Insert Install
Just installed my new rear hatch reciever insert from 928's R US and it was
easy. Used a 1/2" extension to hold down the white reciever button and slid the
new insert over/around the extension then used a flat head screwdriver to set
the tabs along the sides that hold the insert into place. It looks great and for
now seems to work fine. From the ones I saw, the color may very a little, but
mine looks pretty much like the original.
Best of luck. See you at OCIC.

As requested here's some pictures from Vaark to me to you.
This is the new piece. You can tell because it isn't exploded in to a million shards of what used to be your hatch receiver insert :P

Wish this had been available last year. I replaced the entire receiver at the Marble Falls gathering last year, tried to do some shimming to make it open/close right and after I slammed the rear hatch closed after one of the "adjustments", I haven't been able to get it open since. I've tried losening the hinges, prying from inside, and drilling a 1/4" hole to be able to push the latch in. My original problem is fixed though, it doesn't rattle anymore and stays tightly closed :-)
This insert was probably all I needed.
