WTB - Electric/Power Trunk Release
« on: February 03, 2008 - 11:33:54 PM »


There use to be someone selling new ones on eBay, only a couple of used ones.
Can these be purchased from a repro supplier or? Needing one for Madeline.


Thanks,

Thanks Al, much appreciated mate. :worshippy I guess they're a one fits all product.
One of the current listings has it at 65-82+(?) Mopars, looks the same so sweet.

Have a good flight.  :cheers:

Thanks very much Al, but, those are the ones I found. I wasn't sure if you can get repro ones or not?
I'll keep an eye on 1 or 2 as they look like nice pieces, just restore them and go.

thats one of the coolest upgrades that you can pull of on the cheap! Mine was a bit more work to retain remote key functionality but I am definitely likin' it. Wish I could do remote hood release as cheap and easily!

Still looking if anyone has one. eBay has the same 2 or 3 relisted over and over again.
I wold prefer them to be mint units rather than really used pieces. Will keep searching eBay.

Wonder if any dealers have anything like that? I'd think somebody has a old unit.
