'Very long story made very short: the lift-glass in the hatch of my '05 X-Type Estate was recently completely shattered ~ this was the only damage to the car. I finally found a replacement glass in a salvage yard, and took it to my local mechanic to install. The original latch is still attached to my car, even-though the glass is all gone. My mechanic cannot get it to release, so that the new glass can be installed. I suspect that the power to the latch came from the glass-side of the assembly, but he does not. Any hints/directions/schematics would be most helpful. He found schematics online for everything but the rear glass. I joined this forum to ask this question, so forgive me if I've overlooked any obvious helps or solution. Thank-you!
