�It is possible to thread rope around the rear hatch hinges. Open the hatch 1/2 way and thread a loop of rope around each hinge. Make sure the rope rests on the bracket part of the hinge so it doesn't get chewed up by the hinge mechanism when opening and closing the hatch. Relatively stiff rope with a woven casing such as the sailboat sheet lines found in boat stores are easier to manoeuvre than the common 3 strand twisted rope types.
