Nobody has done this or nobody can do a favor and run out and see how its connected (bolts and wires)???? A picture would be a HUGE plus.

It's four nuts, 13mm wrench.
One wire harness you can either cut and re-splice or tear your headliner down to unplug it. I cut and spliced it because it goes into a rubber conduit sealed tight from weather.
You also need a small 1/8" blade screw driver for the strut clips.
And you need a helper I guess, I took one off by myself but getting it on is another story.
FWIW heres something no one knows, not even the Hollander interchange manual. All 4th gen rear hatches interchange, BUT the catch on the hatch is different on '98 and up 4th gens. (latch or whatever the **** you want to call it even though you know what I'm talking about)
