Flushed tailgate for 9n

Going to post this here as the 9n and the 9n3 are the same car!

Does anyone know , or know of someone who as totaly flushed the tailgate on there polo 9n/9n3. I have a 9n3 and im trying to flush the tail gate, just trying to get around the electrics in the boot lid. I have central locking, when its unlocked by the remote, the boot handle activates a solanoid that pushes the handle catch. When you lock the car by remote, it kills the solanoid so the handle goes dead. Im going to remove the wiper, and but the power from that to the solanoid in the boot door, but I dont think its powerful enougth to pop the boot open. Do you know if vw make harder boot dampers to make the boot open more??

Im totaly confused as I only thought they would be only a couple of wires in the boot lid, turns out theres sh*t loads, theres ever wires going in the back of the catch that sits at the bottom of the boot!!!!

Any help, or any information would be great as its realy doing my head in now, want to move on to do the rest of the car.

hey there,
i removed my rear wiper yesterday, it's really easy once you can get the wiper arm off the motor. As for flushing the tailgate, you need aftermarket solenoid kits, search for "door shave" kits on ebay. And there are lots of information on www.vwvortex.com body work section, you might want to search there.
I hope this helps
