A solution to the cable problem is to go electric (they are not much more expensive than manual). All you have to do is to remember to test the battery and to turn it on. No more problems. As it is a big button it is easy to operate from outside with gloves on (at least I think it is easier than trying to get under a pull). The other advantage is that it is much easier to route a wire than a cable that has to be pulled.
Of course if you don't turn it on it's never going to work, but this is the same as leaving the pin in.
