Shaved rear hatch

The spoiler has a notch for where the wiper squirter goes, but my squirter is shaved, figured I'd put a button there instead. I'm definitely not installing it in the fuel door, wanna keep potential ignition sources away from the gas tank. But hey, I'll see what happens, if it doesn't work out I'll find somewheres else

How about a motion sensor under the bumper? Wave your foot under the bumper and it pops the hatch.

Aim is critical, a shroud around the sensor to narrow the range to a small (roughly one inch) area that you would sweep with your foot.
A little more research into the wiring, I believe it could be tied in with the park circuit so the hatch cannot be opened unless the trans is in park, and a timer so it's only active for a short time after unlocking the car.
No, not the easiest solution, but definitely cool.
BTW, I do industrial controls for a living, so some of this stuff seems simple to me.

Back in the day, when we shaved handles (before "kits" were available), we would mount a magnetic 'contact' inside the glass. Then, using a magnet on our keychain...just touch the glass in the right spot to close the contact. Pop goes the door latch.
