There is no way to secure the hatch when transporting long items & thus exhaust fumes are sucked back into the passenger compartment. The manufacturer does not recommend drilling a hole for the hook on a bungee chord to hold the hatch down & reduce fumes entering the passenger compartment. The manufacturer indicated the drilling of a hole for a hook may invalidate the warranty. This, I feel, is a health & safety concern since it is common for me to see hatch vehicle transporting common household items, like 2 X 4's from the local home center & other items as well. The hatch remains completewly open.
