Wires, that’s a great idea! Problem solved. You mounted the switches on the inside back of the hatch with enough clearance to close the hatch cover?
Yes, I was able to mount the switches inside. The hatch I mentioned is not is a small plastic enclosure that is about 1.5 inches deep. There is plenty of clearance so that the hatch closes and you have room to get your fingers in there to operate the switches. Just be careful to mount them slightly offset to the side so that to door latch doesn't hit.
I used a Dremel tool with a drill bit style cutter to cut the opening. It gave a nice clean cut. But the hatch has a good size flange so even if your cut is rough it should easily cover it.
