Hi List,

        Bent posted on Facebook the start of a rear hatch release exchange program.  This lets those of us without a rear hatch release have one.

        I’m looking forward to this.  I like the idea for safety but also I think it is will be easier for me and quieter to slip out the  back for a evening break and then back in.  Quieter then the slider I bet.

Can someone describe to me what this actually looks like and where it comes out of the rear panel? 
I suspect I’ll want a handle to pull down from the inside once I figure this out. 

Also, there is apparently a rubber end or a plastic reproduction of the metal end. 

Anyone want to give me a description or recommendation? 

It is in a recent thread on the facebook van cafe group.  

Or, if you have a late model with the release tell me about it.

I’m looking forward to the upgrade.  I already had made a habit of slipping out the back but this will make it much easier.
