Does anyone know if they made, or what will work for a tailgate release on a wagon? I think it would be so nice to just push a button and have the gate open like on so many other vehicles.

My first thought, having owned a wagon, is to ensure that not only does the lock get actuated, but also a spring or something to push the liftgate away from the striker. Beat I recall, just like on a Runabout, you can turn the key, but you then have to pull it open. Now, on a sedan, totally different story, that deck lid will whack you!

That's true about the sedans!  I got whacked by the trunk lid on my '72 the first time I opened it!!!

Thanks for the heads up on being attacked or whacked by the trunk lid. Dwayne. I'll be opening mine for the first time here in about two more weeks.

Don't they make actuators that could just open the hatch as well. Now that would be cool.
