Hatch release button in cabin?

nismolucino · 12-23-2015, 08:46 AM

Ive thought about doing something with the release cable thats under neath the trunk paneling behind the drivers side.

My Touring has one. I wonder if you could just use parts from the Touring model? Do you have the hole by the steering wheel for the button already?

My car is a touring and doesn't have one

I am curious as to why you want this anyway but maybe I am just jealous because my hatch doesn't actually pop open because of my amuse wing.

For my part, I valet park at the airport fairly often. The cops that are assigned to check for bombs have to look in the rear hatch as well as under the car and always ask me to pop the hatch. They get peeved when I can't do it, generally suspecting that I'm being obstructive and apparently they can't let me get out of the car. I just resolve myself to sitting and waiting while they cluelessly fumble around looking for the rear release.

My 2011 Touring model didnt' have one, nor does my 2014, other than the cable release under the rear deck carpet.

(ETA: I believe that the Roadster does have a remote release button.
