Does that handle just go back in place? Mine almost looks like a lawn mower pull cord. Just not sure if the ones in cars retract as well. Anyone know?
If it doesn't - then it would show "deployed". Hopefully they tested the handle.
I drive a 14 Camaro. (Almost the same body style as his) and when you pull the handle it does go back in. You have to "push" the handle part back into the trunk liner but the cord part does go back in. There is nothing that would show deployed if that was pulled.
