Who makes a good remote trunk release for the 914? Any emergency release like the early Boxsters?

Between this and @“r towle” thread on the 997 Frunk latch I’m (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

When did American’s get so lazy that pushing (or pulling) a manual trunk release just became too much to ask?

There used when installing a aftermarket rear reflector.
Otherwise you drill a hole in the reflector for the trunk lock.

Yup, I remember those reflectors and solenoids from the 80s. Was a bad plan then and still is. Drill the hole and be done with it.

40 years later and people still getting locked out of their own trunks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
