Remote trunk release

[7-UP BILL]

I'm freshening up my interior and want to paint the console. I'd prefer to remove the release button than tape it up. Any advice. Has a wierd kind of clip on it. Thanks.

Its a pita but you gotta taje those ears and fold them down enough to fit through the hole

Gotcha. Thanks. Wasn't sure how to do and definately didn't want to break something.

While we're on the subject, has anyone ever retrofitted one to a car that didn't come with it? My dash has the button in the glove box...I'd love to add it to my trunk.

I have the carpeting out. I'll take a look at the wiring and (ga) and how it's run. I'm sure you can hook up power from the fuse box. See if you can get the unit from a wreck.

It runs down the driver side and connects to a solenoid in the back

FYI, I did have a PIA in the beginning removing the release button. I took a small worm clamp and tightened it up around clip, then used a small screwdriver to finish pushing clips together. Did one side at a time and came right out. Hopefully some useful info for someone else.
