OK. I was at the Waterloo Toyota the other day and decided to look at a 5 door Yaris with the wife. I was standing toward the back of the vehicle when the wife got out and closed the door. I couldn't help but notice the rear hatch bounce open a bit. I never thought the pressure created by closing the door would do that; never seen it before on any other vehicles I've owned including an old Mustang LX 5.0 hatchback.
I had her repeat it and checked the passenger doors and again the hatch bounced up. The vehicle was stationary in the showroom. I'm curious to know if anyone else with a hatch has noticed this?

Yeah, the Yaris may be inexpensive; but it certainly ain't that cheap!

We had the hatch opened and did close it. I just found it odd. When I go back I'll see if I can duplicate the problem. Perhaps it was inside for a reason other than show! Weatherstripping problem perhaps. I just couldn't believe that I saw the hatch move when the drivers door closed.
