I want to get rid of the handle. I'm trying to come up with a bear claw set up with remote release. I'm bored and want to try something else

+1 on this idea. I'd love to see something better. I guess you could use a door clasp like a lawn mower shed and a padlock LOL. I'd think you could do something slick given the time. Haven't seen anything done yet myself, but love the James Duff replacement tailgate cables. http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=269638

I like the idea but you will be limited on available space to make it happen. I toyed with the idea but it would include making a raised section up into the rear glass to provide room for a latch and locking mech that could be remote operated, by the time I looked into getting a new gasket made etc it quickly went to the back burner. It can be done, you just have to throw enough $$ at it.

Yeah it one of those wacky ideas I get when I'm bored. Gonna play around with the idea see if I can make something work on a junk top and hatch
