The old coat hanger to open car doors.

Hi,
Just a quickie.
Anyone thinking of installing an actuator for remote central locking, & ive read the threads and know what a fiddly knuckle scraper it is..
I know one installer used two rods in order to negotiate the window mechanism, & the rods supplied never seem to be long enough..
I used a coat hanger wire...
Cut so it runs from the actuator to just under the plastic lock pull, it can be adjusted where you can see it.
No more blind assembly in the door cavity avoiding the black gunk!!
