Safety cover for a switch on curved surface?
Hi guys, I need your expertise again :).
When my van was at an alignment shop for a month (long story) I asked there about the possibility of installing a switch to unlock the rear hatch from inside. They emailed me (a week later) that it would cost $350 and did I want to do that, and I promptly emailed back, 'definitely not'.
Well, they installed it anyway, but didn't charge me. The upshot is I don't feel I can complain to them about HOW it was installed.
But it's danged problematic. It's a momentary switch (no way to tell if door is locked or unlocked) and is a 1.5" stick that pokes up from the curved plastic trim under the hatch glass -- right level with the mattress on the bed.
Now that I will be traveling with a cat, I am pretty much 100% sure he will be popping that lock without me knowing it. Not to mention blankets, pillows, elbows, etc.bumping it.
Is there some sort of cover I can put over this switch-stick, that would still allow easy access, but prevent accidental bumping? Something nicer looking than duct taping a yogurt cup over it?
Thanks much for any ideas!
