i opened the xB hatch on my first visit to the dealer and was happy for the "button" instead of manual open.

then i bought my xA and was like WTF? no electric hatch?

anyone tried a swap? it'd kick the nuts off of trying to retrofit a door popper or some crap like that..

any idea how much just the solenoid/popper/handle would run me?

thanks!

electric hatch? what?

 

teh rear hatch on teh xB is electrically operated, not manually operated

 

who cares does it take a lot of effort to open a hatch or something?

 

step off..

i don't need stupid comments right now.. i need answers

 

hahaha, just making a normal comment - its not hard to open a hatch manually, thats all
sorry for the "stupid comment"

 

do a little thinking for yourself....

why would one want their rear hatch to be electrically operated?

possibly for remote open from alarm transmitter?

oh crap, i gave you the answer

 

makes sense, i wasnt refuting why one would want one, i was saying that its not a big deal opening it yourself
oh well, hahaha

 

i like automation

 

cool

 

automation is good.. besides, I would want something like that for the xA as well, i'm lazy enough as it is

 

Well the Hatch itself wont come close to fitting and getting the parts off one would be too much hassle. Just look into the Popper retrofit.
