I am having my new 914 shipped to me and already have a long list of required parts/repairs. What will I have to deal with when I remove the rear reflector? I am pretty sure I will end up with 4 holes, but what about the button? Will the original be hiding behind the reflector? All input/experience is appreciated!

The button will be gone, because it's impossible for it to be there if the reflector is on (no room).

and you'll have 6 big holes, not 4. Weld em up and grind em down.

It will be 4 holes if its a 914 reflector. 6 holes if its a 911 reflector.

The dumbass P.O. destroyed my keyhole, so I'm leaving the reflector on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

My '73 has the rear reflector, however it also has the original trunk lock. The fit is close but does not look like someone did it themselves.

Had a reflector on mine with cable trunk release. Don't need the pushbutton. I have 6 holes to weld up.
