I am a newby to this site, and to date ( its only been 2 months) the proud owner of a new 2018 MU X. I want to make a comment to all of the MU X and D max owners out there, in regard to the storage hatch which is located on top of the middle of the dash board. No matter what year of the vehicle none of the hatches I have tried open with out having to poke around trying to lift the hatch with one hand while pressing the release button with the other. rry. I found a simple solution which may be of benefit to those of you who have the same problem. I placed a small rubber O ring, about the size of the O ring seal found on the male end of the garden hose connection, a smaller one works just as well. Place it flat on the inside at the end of the hatch cover near the hinges. I t works a treat, one press of the release button and the hatch pops up with ease every time.
Hi al just bought a new dmax and the salesman told us to use your thumb with your nail facing down lightly slide your nail under the lip and lift while depressing the catch that seems to work

Try a slightly larger 0 ring. The one I used is about the thickness of the 0 ring on the hose connection, and a little larger in diameter. I placed it between the ledge and the lid near one of the lifting hinges, but I also found it pops the hatch if its in the middle between the two hatch hinges. It worked for us, so I thought why not mentioning it, but it seems it may not work for every one. Any way some one more than likely has another trick, other than pushing finger nails under the lid.
