After sleeping in the back of the E on a few trips I decided to do the rear hatch opening mod (thanks to all who blazed that trail). While I had the plastic off of the back hatch I decided that if I had a way to open the hatch from the inside I should probably have a way to close it as well. (something that I was finding difficult as well. While I liked the Ursa Minor method, I decided to go the stealth route. Here are the results.
I attached some extra webbing that I had laying around to a the interior bracing on the rear hatch with a screw and fender washer combination. I then wrapped the webbing around the brace on it's way to the hand recess in the hatch to dissipate the downward force so that I would not be pulling directly on the attachment point. I decided to attach the plastic handle to the webbing with a simple bolt and fender washer because I knew that I was bound to lose it if I did not. The end result can be tucked away when not in use and you would never even know that it is there.
Thoughts and improvements are welcome.
