Why?  The sunscreen cover is vented on the front, so you don't
need to open it.

Huh?  I'm lost here.  One turn of the key unlocks the door, two
turns unlocks the central locking system.  (Just like double-clicking
a computer mouse.)  One turn locks the whole car if I remember
correctly.  I haven't had a key in the locks since 1995, except when
I was testing the locking system after clipping the wire last month.
FYI: The only function deleted by the power lock button install is
the "follow me" lock/unlock when you pull up the lock knob on
the driver's door.  Since I'm willing to bet that most of us
can't reach that lock knob from the driver's seat anyway, I'm sure
that it will not be missed.....
