Start here:

For vehicles with
automatic trunk lid mechanism
S316A=Yes
13 Spindle drive, left 710N 1 51247185713 $255.38
13 Spindle drive, right 710N 1 51247185714 $255.38

Control unit, tailgate lift 1 09/2010 61357258363 $244.36 ENDED

Next, we need to investigate, probably the mechanism to release the trunk from the hinge needs to be added

I will start this project from now. Anyone knows what parts do I need?

13 Spindle drive, left 710N 1 51247185713 $255.38
13 Spindle drive, right 710N 1 51247185714 $255.38
Control unit, tailgate lift 1 09/2010 61357258363 $244.36

I think just this 3 parts are not enough. How about the button, and the lock?
