It has a custom metal panel attached to it.

You can get a shop to make them for you. You can get plain one from www.APsignworks.com

 

actually i was reffering to the button under the armrest. I have i 99 se-l, too, but no button...what gives?

 

You don't have a power trunk release?

Don't all Maximas have a trunk release button there?

 

I have a 97 SE with no trunk release there.

 

Hmm. interesting.. Where is it on yours?

 

hmm...i never knew i had one there...but just checked and there it is...hehe

you might want to check inside the glove compartment, some cars have the trunk release button in there.

 

I'm pretty sure all 4th gen maxs have that

 

Not all maxima's have the power trunk release. You have to have the Security and Convenience package on your car. I found this listing of what is included in the S&C package in an earlier post by Anachronism

GXE Security and Convenience Package-(Requires automatic transmission)
* 8-way power driver's seat
* Remote keyless entry and vehicle security system
* Power trunk release
* Illuminated visor vanity mirrors
* Variant intermittent wipers
* Chrome exhuast finisher

SE Security and Convenience Package- (Requires sunroof)
* 8-way power driver's seat
* Remote keyless entry and vehicle security system
* Integrated HomeLink Transmitter
* Power trunk release
* Illuminated visor vanity mirrors
* Variable intermittent wipers

 

Well I'm glad I have that. I like the button being right there. The luxuries of maximas are great.

 

I hate the button being right there. Whenever I carry my PDA in my left pants pocket, it's in the perfect position to push the button and open my trunk, usually when the car is moving. I think down next to the fuel door release is a better place.

 

So lemme get this straight, if you dont have the powert and convenience package you dont have an interior trunk release??

weak

 

In my 97 SE the trunk release is the same lever as the fuel door release and is located on the floor at the front left of the driver seat. Pull the lever up and the trunk pops. Push the lever down and the fuel door opens. Oh yeah, and my car is a stripper, no options.

 

What is the Integrated HomeLink Transmitter? I have a '96 SE with the convenience package and I know nothing about this.

 

That's '97+, sorry bud.
