[s-cars] Avant rear hatch

[Tom Green]

This seems to neglect answering how to remove the hatch interior cover  
if
Phil can't get it open.  I don't think there is any advantage to using  
the interior
handle.   I haven't investigated this, but given where the latches are  
on each
side, I would suspect you can reach the rod to each latch mechanism by
opening the little doors on each side that allow access to the backup  
and
fog lights, by somehow laying down and contorting your body on the  
floor.
