Ever wonder how you will open your trunk if the trunk latch motor fails, and you cannot access the child safety latch? The only way I could think of doing
it is to stomp my sub enclosure out of the way.
I have searched for info on the web but have not found any aftermarket cables, but I did find that the convertible camaro has such a cable, because they cannot pull down the seat to access the child safety latch.
So I ordered the cable from GM Parts House, #20995417, and although my trunk lid does not have the same mounting holes, I was able to easily install and route the cable in under an hour after work today. An easy rainy day project that gives me peace of mind.
I slapped together a PDF on how to do it... Please excuse my crappy photos and ignorance at making professional PDF files.
Before I routed the cable to sit behind the seat I routed it outside the trunk and closed it. The trunk lid did not crimp the cable, it just fit fine, then I pulled it to verify it was easy to open the trunk. See the video:
