If you have an 81, I believe most of the emblems will have posts on the back of them.  They pry off pretty easily, and can be re-installed using barrel nuts.

Be sure that it is switched off ASAP as it does have a habit of overheating if left on too long. I had a similar set up in the spirit I owned. I think someone swapped the rear hatch with an sx/4 anyway. it too burnt up cause I left the switch on once... D'oh

Dude you can't leave it on at all. It overheats within minutes. That switch is sending power to a doorbell switch in the back, so the solenoid only gets power while you're pushing the doorbell. That switch is essentially the lock so that no once can open your hatch when you don't want them to.

I appologize, I Assumed that it was just a 2 way toggle/rocker, not just an "activator". I was thinking that once you turned the switch ON, it stayed ON till you manually clicked it off.
