Hi Woody66, I have done this replacement and all it takes is a little patience. Open the hatch, remove the 6 screws for the filler panel, the black piece that runs left and right. Remove the rear interior light, you will see a 1cm space to pry light on the left side, pull down in an arc to unhook the right side. Remove the wires from light, in the middle of the light pocket you will see a black push pin, turn 1/4 of turn and remove. Using a quarter, or large flat tip screwdriver, remove the interior panel rivets, they screw off, save the middle ones for last. The conn. for the hatch is to the drivers side. disconnect, remove the torx screw that holds the wire under the black panel you have removed. Gently push the rubber grommet toward the back and pull wiring through the hole. Dissconnect the washer hose at hinge. Place some corrigated cardboard under the lip of raised hatch, remove bolt caps. Remove bottom bolts, the ones covered by the rubber flush caps. Pull the lock circlips on the hatch struts, push on right side, swivel and pull out of small hole. Now you need another person to hold hatch while you remove the bolt on helpers side, remove bolt on your side and slide the hatch out and up off the hinge. Do the opposite to replace.
