Finally got around to installing Cal’s trunk opener and light kit. 

 

First things first - Cal, you have made a hell of a kit. From the packaging to the instructions, this thing is top quality. 

 

Installing is incredibly straight forward. Definitely take the time to clean your old latch system. I spent a few days soaking it in degreaser, carb cleaner, and then wire brushing it. A bit of lithium grease at the back end should keep it in great working order. 

 

Ininstalled a switch on the the positive side of the light so I can turn it off when I don’t need it, though I’ve verified that the plunger interrupts the circuit nicely. 

 

Plan is to tap the light into my aux fuse panel in the back seat and when I finally get around to redoing my center control I’ll put in a switch to pop the trunk.

Looks nice! Wegweiser will assert that lithium grease turns to clay over time.

 

And where were YOU on Tuesday night? :P

If you’ve got a better grease recommendation I’m all ears. 

 

Stuck on the ship, forgot the duty schedule and found out when I walked onboard that morning. We should do a weekend/brunch get together

Yes, let's!

 

The VA Beach Sunday C&C is next weekend. May be wet, though. 

 

I'd probably use synthetic wheel bearing grease, just because....
