Replace the solenoid behind the panel.  Mine is doing the same thing,
basically the solenoid wears so that it sticks and won't travel the full
distance.  I'm not sure if it�s the spring or what, but I'm guessing that's
the problem.

It seems my rear hatch will no longet lock.

Ita a 1987 Wolfsburg with power locks (you lock the front passenger door and
the rest of the locks click as well).
I've also noticed that sometimes I have to unlock/lock the front passenger
door a couple of times to get the sliding door to click locked.

How does one remedy this?
