Mines connected to the button on the boot. The amount of times I accidentally put the rear wiper on I don't think I could have one connected to that =|

funnily enough...... so is mine
the whole point is you get a boot popper when you smooth your boot, and that includes the wiper arm = you wouldnt put it on for wiping your window

That the one I've got and it comes with everything you need if you wanted to use the rear wiper wiring

Mine is a central locking motor, hooked up to a switch on the dash.
Ran a wire from the switch to the cigar lighter, for power, then a wire from the switch to the motor, with a earth coming off the motor to a nice point.
easy peasy.
just need a spring in now so when i pop it, it pops past the lock so opens on its own, rather than me pressing the switch, opening the boot, then flicking the switch off again. saves burning the motor out.

Easy to get parts, just find a car with CL in the scrappy, take the doorcard off, sorted.

Depends how you fit the popper really. Mine only pops onto the first catch so it wont come open unless you physically pull it
Wouldnt be too hard to take the wiring from the wiper stalk and connecting it to a button. Think thats what Im going to do at some point

a push button that pops out? You can!! Momemtariy(sp) push to make switch, not a latching push to make. Is that what you mean. Latching means push on, then it stays on, then push and it turns off. Momentariy is only on when you have the switch held in
