how do you pop the rear hatch in a 2005 from inside the car while key is in ignition and running? Ive been shutting car off, taking out key and holding trunk button...that sux

 

your key chain has a button to unlock it.

 

Check page 3-10 of your manual. There is a hatch release under or close to the rear strut bar

 

thats for emergencies, hardly useful.

Unless they have changed it since 03, the key fob is the only way. There is no release button for use inside the cabin other than the emergency hidden pull cable. Yes it is a little stupid.

 

There's a rubber covered button over the license plate

 

I think there must be some kind of safety so that doesn't work.

 

Idiot!!

J/K
Couldn't resist.

+1 on what everyone else said...

 

The original posters question was Quite clear...
i wish there was some other way also OTHER than the "usual " way

 

there is a rubber button on top of the license plate just like Penderwheels said.

 

Yep, and I don't see any reason why you would want to pop the trunk unless there was someone already at the trunk who could press the button and open it themselves. Just make sure the car is unlocked and it should work just fine.

 

ya i know its there i READ the owners manual cover to cover you can learn quite a bit!! hehe
thanx tho...

 

It comes up! Say your picking up your wife, kid, or friend and they want to throw their bags in the back. You either gotta use the FOB or get out and open up the trunk for them. Trying to explain where the little rubber thing is and having them use it with their hands full is not real useful. Most cars these days have a button in the glove box or elsewhere to pop the trunk from INSIDE the cabin. I usually just get out and open it for the person.

 

yeah, nissan forgot that or didn't think it was needed

the price you pay for owning a reletivly unpractical sports car

 

It's not a mini van, plus I make people hold on to their crap in the front seat.

No crap in my trunk, no sir , at least not without me loading it. People are careless and I don't want any scratches or dings if i can help it.


Hmm, maybe thats why nobody wants to go for a ride, to many rules. Oh well

Have you ever noticed when you let other people do something like close the door they have to slam the door like it was a huge caddy. I know it sounds ****, but to hear a little door that needs very little pull to close it, especially when the windows are open, being slammed shut makes me gringe

 

yeah my daughter always slams the door and I always have to growl at her for it!

...but I do let he put her bag in the back.

 

Well since no bags fit in my trunk unless they are in front of the strut bar it don't matter to me but no there is no button to get to it from the inside except the one on the keyfob...

 

good...i dont feel so stupid now... seriously.

 

OMG! yes i HATE that.. people feeling the need to SLAM a door... i actualy say something like... "The doors arnt as heavy as they look, they close quite well gently, thanks" happy smile*
