Last week I covered my bases and ordered online…it says “in stock”.
The thing is…online it says “in stock”, but few days later I got email saying we placed a request for the part.

Now it says “in process”. So its a waiting game…
I've found that means the site, most likely, can see it is in a Ford warehouse. They place the order as soon as the part is paid for. I hate to say it but the odds of an online parts house having it in stock are slim. I'd doubt even Levittown would have it as big as they are.

My 2020 (mfg 2019) Australian delivered RHD convertible does not have this release. It also doesn't have a hole for it in the liner. It is also not in the manual.

I can't remember, but only verts have that key/cable just behind the left rear seat? It so it looks like they just re-routed the cable provision for the coupe to that lock. I can't see any way to turn it from behind, must use key in the lock.

Because Aussie's are so tough they just kick the boot(trunk) open jump out with a can of Fosters in their hand?

Update: I Fixed it!:like:

So If you’re looking up parts Trunk lock latch OEM 2015-2021 Convertible, This is what shows up:

FR3Z7643200C- For CONVERTIBLE, w/theft deterrent. Mustang; Convertible; w/Thatcham Security. (Did not come with the Glow in the dark pull tab and short cable) This is what I ordered, turned out to be wrong part.

FR3Z7643200B- For CONVERTIBLE, w/o theft deterrent. Mustang; Convertible. Mustang; Convertible; w/o Thatcham Security.

To make it more confusing…
The one on my Convertible (401A with Extra security package)
is part #FR3B7643282CB. The internals are similar to the 200C, and same attachment point for the electronic harness. I cannot find this part for sale at any online dealer.

I ended up just getting the short cable and glow in the dark pull tab from a used FordFusion part on ebay. (see pic) Afaik, they dont sell this short cable together with the glow tab handle. (which sucks).

This is a bit of a pita, It should really come with it…For me its not a big deal, but a nuissance still. I was able to fix it and put it together in about 20 minutes.

I do most of my wrenching, (harleys, cars, trucks etc) But for someone who’s not use to it, It would be a nightmare taking the latch apart, then lining up the springs, while putting it back together! lol

You might be right…

I’m thinking, due to covid past couple years, or so…parts have been scarce…Ford must’ve dipped into their euro parts bin. lol

The US equivalent should be the xxxxxx-200C model.
