Hi redlinemoto.
I drilled right through the pivot point and installed a piece of, I think it was 4mm rod. Brass or plastic does not matter. I then glued a small piece of plastic underneath, with a corresponding hole. This allows the hatch to lift and pivot. My Challenger is not at home at the moment. I nicked the idea from my Leopard.
