        My 90Westy does not have an InsideRearHatchRelease. To open the
R'Hatch on mine

the FrontDoors need to be unlocked & the R'Hatch Lock KeySlot needs to
be in the Horizontal

position, then it can be opened with or without the key just by
pushing the button. This makes

the RemoteLockingSystem that I have even more useful in that by
leaving the R'Hatch Lock

Horizontal I can Lock & Unlock it just by using the Remote to Lock or
Unlock the FrontDoors.

        You might want to check form the inside to be sure something isn't
stuck in the door

jam preventing it from closing all the way as that might prevent it
from being unlocked.
