(contact him and he'll make you one, I don't think he keeps them in stock since it's 3d printed)

If the hatch motor makes no noise at all, there's a plug that sometimes gets corroded that runs around the outside of the hatch glass back to the main body shell.

More info on the connector and the little plastic part:

Wicked. Does IC have a forum of common problems/issues and responses? I should probably search their first, most of my issues are missing or damaged pieces. I should check their about the 6 cd changer, too, as mine won't pop out.
