New key for possible hatch release?

Guard Dad · 09-28-2011, 12:07 PM

Is it possible/practical to add a push button hatch release in cockpit? Is the exterior touch-panel a simple momentary-contact or does it include some sort of circuit board?

Two things -

1 -it's surprising there isn't an inside hatch release button; and

2 - I never let anyone open or close my trunk/hatch. Way too many dolts that slam the sh1t out of doors/trunks/hatches when closing them.

I absolutely think its a "female" thing to SLAM! The trunk like its a steel door on a secret layer! LMFAO! It drives me absolutely BONKERS when "they" do that!

Well there's always the manual release cable. You could probably replace it with a longer cable and route it up to a pull-tab near the driver's seat.
