I have the rear reflector and have drilled a small hole in the middle of the "S" that I can push a coat hanger (actually have a perfect sized allen wrench) through to manually release. The manual cable release don't work b/c I have a trailer hitch mount that would interfere with the cable routing.
I'd prefer to have an electric option that operates from the cockpit. Who sells the solenoid setup? Are there other solenoid's that can be customized to work? Thanks in advance! -pt |

Thank you so much jaxdream for visiting me today, making a tool that unbolted my trunk and taking some time to go over the car with me! Video of trunk getting opened! Steve |
