Re: tailgate
They stopped making them in S.A. in 2002.So i doubt very much that there are many new panels.Let alone "pooh" loads.

Re: tailgate
as Rob says,
yes you can drill a hole and buy the motor and bracket and such , but if yours already has w & w then its a retro fit,with a few holes drilled etc, the washer hole would be more fun but it dont have to be that shape

Re: tailgate
no nnot that one .if you look CLOSELY you will see a recess on the top to the left of the centre bar , this is for two x 10mm bolts to secure the wiper mounting plate , also at the bottom of said centre bar is another hole this is for the 3rd fixing, skin then need a hole for the wiper spindele and jet. but as said ,m why bother?
