It will give you advice on using your original latches.
It looks like I will just stick with what I have. I like the bear claw set up. I wish I would have seen it before I got the painted the car. The first body guy I had told me he installed the solenoids and tested them and it all work great. There is no way it ever worked the way he set it up. I going to change the way it is pulling on the mechanism like a few guys here are doing and it should work fine. Thanks for the help I guess I was looking of a quick easy fix I could just bolt in and it ain’t happening. I should have known better. Steve
