Has anyone done an interior rear door release? I might be using the rear of my GX for a sleep area and would like to have a way to open the rear door.

I looked into it real quickly and I think the entire back door trim panel is different, so you would need to swap that out. Then there is the handle and the trim around the handle, and probably some cable to connect it to the latch.
I know this is an old thread but I’m hoping to do something similar. Im very curious, did you ever end up successfully installing that recliner latch?I did mine a bit ago do this is from memory, but I believe the sheet metal is about 1/2" away from the plastic covering. You'd likely have to cut sheet metal to instal one of those flush mount handles.
The other issue would be the orientation the cable is pulled at. Unless a guide (sleeve or pulley maybe..?) was used, the cable has to be pulled straight up. Meaning the linked recliner chair part mounted from the 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock position might work. If so, that would be pretty sweet!
I might just pick one up and see what I can come up with.
Thanks for the link.
