Default Anyone ever swapped their hatch?

I've searched for how-to's, micro-fiches, previous posts, and i havent found anything. I have my hatch with a ped. spoiler on it, but I want a blank hatch. I found a guy locally who is willing to swap straight up. And i know taking it off is only like 8 bolts or so, what im wondering about it the electrical connections, is it just a plug in type deal? any info would be greatly appreciated!

Ok swapped the hatch tonight. Wasnt too tough. we had to cut the wires and reconnect with wire connectors. you definately are gonna need 3 people to change a hatch out though, it could be done with two but it gets pretty heavy and would be tough trying to re-bolt the hinges. all in all took about an hour in a half start to finish. not as hard as i thought it would be.
