the actuators bolt to the existing door latch like the cars with factory power door locks, but on the cars with factory locks, there is a notch stamped into the door beam that runs across the door, this notch is where the actuator motor sits, hatches and coupes dont have this notch, so no clearance for the door lock actuator, the door latch itself is identical on both carsQuote:
