Re: Hatch

Pop out the hatch compartment light if you have one (don't remember whether the parts i have in the top of my garage have it or not), stick a screwdriver through the hole, and engage the emergency open slot. Turn the screwdriver, and the hatch should pop. And yes, that switch between your power window switches is for the hatch release... (had one on my 85 console but traded it in because my Bird has the one in the dash)
