Default Rear hatch inside release

After searching for a write up on this to no avail I decided to forge ahead without instructions; risky but fun😮
Removed the inside panel:



Tools needed



The little red piece is where the strap attaches. Pulling up at that point releases the latch



Inside of the hatch cover



About 8 inches above the latch



Where the strap will exit



Sewing a loop in the end of the strap. I used nylon to assure no rattles



Finished

An easy project that cost $0 and took about an hour.

Thanks! For me, being able to get out the back is handy when camping.
