I've been having difficulty routing an emergency (Manual) entry cable to my truck. It keeps binding and does not seem to work very well. I tried a couple of configurations with the intent of keeping it hidden but I keep having the binding issue. I'm sure I can run it on the firewall to the right of the M/C but didn't want to go that route. Anyone have any suggestions?

I was also thinking of hiding another powered switch in the grill area. Will I have to run a relay as well?

I ran shaved doors on my '49 way back when. I was using mid eighties Camaro parts for a donor. I ran a Camaro rod straight down from the latch out of a door drain hole. You really couldn't see it from the outside so it worked well. Not that I locked my doors much.

Didn't think of the drain hole. Going to look into that option some more.

Don't run another powered switch as your emergency entry, you need some kind of mechanical release in case you can't get it open with the powered poppers.
