Check for a broken spring.....across the back of the hinges there are likely 2 metal rods going from hinge to hinge....they are the springs. Maybe 1 is broken or out of place.....If the car has a rear spoiler like the H/O and wasnt factory ya need stiffer springs like the H/O or 442 cars had that came from the factory so equipped.
