Having de-locked the front doors on my 1994 Golf VR6 5dr, I want to remove the lock from the tailgate also.
Obviously, this means fitting a solenoid to open the tailgate, wired to a button on the dash.
I'm not too worried about the bodywork or electrics, can handle that. Just need some guidance on the mechanical operation of the tailgate catch itself.
Is there a VW/Audi car (or even a later VR6) that can donate a solenoid-operated catch that will fit straight onto my car, or is it a matter of welding a generic solenoid to the existing catch?
If anyone has completely de-locked their mk3, some guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
