Power wagon hatch release?

Post by kyle1979 on Fri Feb 06, 2015 11:50 pm

I'm hoping to acquire a couple power wagon hatch releases, but am unsure if these even actually exists as I've never seen one. Do they exist?

Never heard of one from the factory, but I would think you could modify a trunk or hatch release form a newer car.

Absolutely these were available! As I mentioned in our PM exchange, I pulled a setup off a '76 Wagon...but, couldn't find anyone who was interested (not many wagon owners around) and so it was eventually tossed. Another member has one on his wagon.

It utilized a dash bezel toggle switch that looked and mounted just like the rear defrost switches to unlock the rear hatch. Design and install of trunk latch mechanism was somewhat different than conventional car power trunk latch.
