Originally, the Lancer had no functions on the rear doors, of course. Since I was converting to full chrome anyway, I continued the project in the back and replaced the standard door handles with the ones that have the KOS (Keyless Entry System). The latches themselves are easy to replace, as they are exactly the same size as the front ones. However, the locking mechanism is smaller in the back, so you can't install the ones from the front. The only option was to install the chrome push buttons from the Mitsubishi Delica D:5, but this model isn't available in Europe, only in Japan. So I checked in Japan to see if anything was available there. And I found a whole new set for sale. So, while I was at it, I decided to upgrade the rear doors as well. On the Mitsubishi Delica D:5, the button is used to close the sliding door, but we're using it for the KOS system, which means some modifications and proper wiring. Before the project, I thought this feature was kind of unnecessary, but when it was finished... Wow, it looked amazing! And because the button was wider and had a recess, locking it was much more comfortable than locking it from the front. Plus, when I'm carrying groceries or my son, locking it from the back is significantly more convenient. These days, I lock it from the back about 80% of the time... ^^
