I removed the interior panel, hooked some heavy gauge wire to the internal
relaease mechanism
so that when the wire is pulled it unlatches the hatch.  Fed this wire thru a
small opening in the panel i removed
and attached a pull ring.  Now to open the rear hatch from the inside, simply
pull the ring to the side and the hatch pops open.  very simple.
