No way to tell without some dimensions. There's not much room in there. I've got a door lock solinoid from a Q45 working mine. It fits but it's not great. It worked fine with my old soft and worn out hatch gasket but with the new one I have to gentally push down on the hatch while someone else pushes the button. Kind of defeats the purpose if it takes two people to open your hatch, eh?

 

If you find one that works well share with the rest of us.

Dan, have you tried lubing all the mechanism pieces? Sometimes the friction can be overcome by oil, grease, or graphite. That said, I'm talking too much since I have not looked at your system! I'd love to see it work sometime.

Mine has a door lock solenoid working it too, just fits inside the hatch, not much space there. Sometimes have to press the button twice to get a full release but its otherwise good.
