You must drill through the metal - there is no other way to route the wires.Are the wires from the struts long enough to drill through the plastic instead of through the metal in the hatch?
Sure, but not through the door control module.After waiting a month, my kit finally came in. Not crazy about the button on the steering column...I’m wondering if it’s possible to retrofit a button on the driver’s side door that connects to the door module.
I've done this mod - I purchased this kit:

That's for a Golf SV.again a nice mod for the MK7!
why didn’t you choose this kit? -> https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPDcXip
the main difference in my opinion is no seperate system for unlocking, as all goes in the hatch (more OEM look)?
secondly, could you enlight us about connecting the module to the car? As im doubting between side assist and electric tailgate.
really appreciated!

That's for a Golf SV.
Nevertheless, the kit looks more or less the same.
Don't buy a kit for a Golf SV if you don't have a Golf SV.More or less, I requested the PDF, connecting seems straight forward and easier than to install than lane or side assist. Except for the part below. Do you need to add one can wire or two?

As for your screenshot, I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at... My kit got its CAN from the steering wheel (plug and play).
Your PDF doesn't seem to be working.-have asked the seller, specifically if he sells one for the variant/estate MK7.
the difference between the two versions are electric suction will investigate further
- (See PDF) is the connection from the CAN @ steering wheel a must or will any CAN connection work? (See installation steps 03/04, which only states connect to orange brown which is CAN- and connect to green, which in my opinion is no CAN.
~Orange blue =infotainment /convenient 0,1mb
~Orange black = drivetrain 1mb
~orange white = extended 1mb
Orange green = comfort
~orange brown = minus
More or less.IWMTom - Is everything plug and play for the wiring? You just need to drill the 2 holes into the hatch for the strut wiring and then make openings for the buttons...?
Not without pulling the fuse.just got word from alie seller, it won’t fit.
Sorry for stalking, but does the boot also opens and close manually? In case of heavy load in trunk on holidays?
Secondly, can you recall if you had 40cm / 25inch left in spare cable?
Too bad for the manual functionNot without pulling the fuse.
Spare cable where exactly?
