Opening rear tail gate from inside on a T5

[Sim T5]

Has anyone modified their T5 so they can open the tail gate from inside, I was hoping to see some pictures to get some ideas!

Thank Sim

There is already a way to open the tail gate from inside: first, take off the small round cap from the back side of the tail gate. It will reveal a hole. There is a lever inside the hole that you can press to open the tailgate from inside.

If you plan to do this often, attach a string to the the small round cap so it wou dbe easier to remove it next time.

Yes I'm aware of that, I was hoping for a permanent solution as I have a draw system and cannot reach down from inside easily

Run some Bowden cable from the lever to somewhere higher up?

Get a shaved door popper and wire it up. Then stick the popper remote somewhere up high.

I also have drawers with a bed on top and like to open the tail gate from inside.

I used a bit of curtain wire attached to the manual mechanism which runs up to a small hole I drilled next to the brake light.

Works good just pulling on the wire although the plan for the finishing touch is to find a cool figurine to stick on top.
