I just stumbled across this cable kit that would allow you to open your door even if the battery is dead. It's a little pricey, but I see that it has a nice cable loom that goes in the door jam.

You could indeed install something like that,but for the moment i'm happy with the way it is now ..There are other things that really need to be done .Guess I'm gonna look for new seats now that I've seen your pictures ..

For posterity, I downloaded Tom's photos from Facebook and posted them here on FTE (who knows what Facebook will do in the future?). Tom, I hope you don't mind... your solution is pretty cool and I didn't want it to get lost.
