I need good advise guys/gals... - Toyota Yaris Forums

My 2010 5 speed hatch has a tach and crank-type windows (it's not an S model). I don't like electric windows, too expensive to repair when they fail. Besides, the Yaris is so narrow I can reach over to roll the other side down if I have to, but may have to unfasten the seatbelt. I happen to love the center mounted gauges as I can see better out the windshield. Keyless entry...meh. I can live without that. The main thing I miss is a hatch release lever like my Honda CRX's all had tucked in beside the driver's seat.

Kind of sad: My last free ToyotaCare oil change takes place tomorrow. My ToyotaCare expires on 6/12. Now I'll have to pay for them.

Here's your solution for the hatch popping. Since you don't have remote entry, you can simply install an inside switch, where ever you want:
