Description of the problem | Curious about the inside trunk release on my vehicle, one of my friends sat in the trunk to see if he could get himself out. To our surprise, he couldn't because the handle which is supposed to glow in the dark didn't because it is almost never exposed to natural light. I think the glow in the dark trunk release handles are an excellent idea and a step in the right direction but without a method to keep them glowing (perhaps an electric light which turns on when the car is running), they are useless to a person trapped inside a trunk. You can contact me at phs11@cornell. Edu. *ak |
