Hi Dave, Yes, you missed a important part of the discussion. I mentioned that Ben is starting a rear hatch opener exchange program. I can’t keep up with the progress as it is done mostly on his Van Cafe facebook group. I really just can’t give Facebook my time as it is difficult to use blind. And every post seems to refer to a picture. So the idea is you get the modified latch and send back yours. Yours is then modified for another person and the process continues. I’m hoping to be early on the exchange list. Best, Eric

Plastic is not the only medium. They are doing some pretty awesome things with metals and alloys also. Only thing was though, I didn't see the rear hatch release mechanism.
