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! |

Works for me no not right but! Push down on your trunk lid as another person pulls the nob in the cabin to release pressure on the latch. Now if that works and you don’t always cary an extra trunk helper rig up a top secret handy dandy under the trunk release wire. In my case after restoring my car and replacing all rubber I found my trunk lid so tight even with the good old fashioned key lock button it wouldn’t work with out pushing lightly on the lid.
