Another one has fallen.

Glad you both are ok. Most likely the latch strike plate needs to be realigned, 'blue' had a hit like yours and the plate shifted, causing a clunk that took 3 months for us and our body shop to figure out....

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that the hit Blue went thru in the link isn't the same hit that Blue had with the plate just 'shifting'. That is a whopper of a hit, and I'm glad you and your wife are okay.

GOOD NEWS: Mine will not be totalled. The body shop tacked in a new floor and it went on the frame machine for a bit. Hatch opens and shuts alright now. Went into paint yesterday, and I should have it back early next week (Monday or Tuesday).

Until then, I can't help but think that my rental car is always up to something. I just think it's ironic that my Yaris got in an accident on a vacation to Missouri, and then I get the rental 5 which has plates from...Missouri.

Yeah, different hits; the plate shift was just under a year of ownership. The link hit totalled her. Glad to see that its fixable. Keep us updated.
