I had mine smoothed for 4/5 years; never had to use a tool other than my finger tips to open it and never had any damage

I imagine you would need to do some body work cutting to put a solenoid behind the flap and run wires there. don't know if there is an easier way?

leave the tab there in the first place, the hassle its going to be to fit a popper i would rather just put a key behind the rubber to open it if you can get in with you fingers, cant see how you cant get in with your fingers tho, i have big fat fingers and can still do it
