Usual rear trunk button has been replaced with a cable release from the cabin to make way for the aftermarket rear reflector. Please note: this is the mechanical CABLE RELEASE, not the electric solenoid that some kits used.
First sunny day in a while. Put the roof in the rear trunk. Never sure I'll be able to get it open again. Now it's time to park. Pulling the cable in the cabin, hear a clicking sound but trunk still seems to be latched. Cannot secure the car. Anyone else had this experience? The reflector sure looks cool, but I'm not sure it's worth this hassle! |

No clue how to fix this. But one fix to keep it is to put strong magnates on it and remove the studs so if this does happen again you can just pop it off and open it
