well ive been in the same boat. my bro did this to his grandam and ran bicycle brake cables through his fire wall that were connected to the door latches, so if the battery dies, he can get under the hood and pull them to get in. i thought about this when i did mine, and i didnt like the idea. but my truck has a sliding back window. so in the event of the battery dying, i can crawl through and pull the hood release and use a car to jump it. but if u dont have a sliding back window, there are numerous ways to go about this, and im sure others will chime in.
