This is best done with two people, but it is possible for a Strong fit male to do. I would not try this if you are a female as it is heavy and awkward to move the hatch alone and you could easily injure youreself. First take notice of the two small covers on the outside top of the car just above the hatch. Now open the hatch and look to the spot where the small covers join the hatch. Each of these caps is held on by two Phillips head screws. Take these out, then carefully close the hatch but don't let it latch (its not a problem if it dose, but you will need to open it again later). The small caps will slide forward and then you can lift them up and off of the car. Set these aside for later. After you have removed the caps you should have exposed the nuts that are holding on the hatch. Now open the hatch again. At this point you will need two people or an extreemly strong head, neck, and back. With the hatch up, remove the gas struts supporting the hatch. At this point DO NOT LET THE HATCH CLOSE. Put a pice of cardboard over the latch and rest the hatch on it so it will not close. Now remove the nuts holding the hatch onto the car. If memory serves me they are 13mm nuts. After all 4 are removed, position one person on each side of the car. At the same time lift the hatch together and set it aside. Now if you want you can put the small covers back on the same way you took them off. To put the hatch back on just do those steps in reverse.
