[QUOTE="ddgermann, post: 178177, member: 3537"] On the 16 and up the rear hatch pulls down tight on its own. So there’s no partial latching. The microfibre down the fender for the cord to rest on, a bit of slack inside and a loop along the hatch seal... hold in place close hatch, gently press so it pulls down. Cover car... go cry for while. Come back and the battery should read full. however it sometimes takes hours to show fully charged. Not unusual as the OEM /CTEC maintainer is not pumping out any significant current. Your car should be on the maintainer after only a few days of sitting due to the constant draws from the computers. Likely last longer (10-20 days) but it’s not good for your battery to draw it down like that. I would not expect it to start after 2 weeks without the tender. And yes the light will go out if you leave the hatch open.This question came up here a few months ago and someone confirmed it. happy storage.. [/QUOTE]
