    I'm interested in doing this to my hatch, does anybody have a picture of the spot on the door that does not allow the sedan actuators to bolt on?

    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 cars

    Your speaking of the beam that runs horizontally across the door?

    yes, in a car with the power door locks there is a notch stamped into that beam. The beam might have had to be different for some reason on hatchs and coupes, which might explain why they dont have power locks, it might have had something to do with the longer doors

    I'm wondering about notching the door myself, its why I ask. I guess I will need to hit the junkyard to determine if that is even possible.

    you'll do a lot better off just getting some after market actuators that attach to the rods and go inside the doors, I think you would have to take the door skin off to change the beams, it's not worth putting in a factory actuator, just go aftermarket
