Angry Rear hatch release motor

Sometimes when i release my hatch and theres an impatient person lifting on it, it dosent come all the way up and then my hatch dosent close. Right now its open! Can someone help me? Is there a way i can manually make it come out so my hatch closes?

Thanks, Joe

Funny you should mention it, I had that problem earlier today with mine. If you look at the motor assembly, you'll see the latch that holds the hatch down. Now, if you look right in front of that (more towards the rear of the car) there's a little lever type thing, that when it's pressed in, it activates the motor. I got my motor to go back down by holding in on that little lever with a screwdriver. Then I just turned the key as if to re-pop the hatch, and the motor came back up all the way, problem solved.
but hehe, I did have a bad moment there today, thinking aw #$$@! It's broken!
