Removing Tailgate Electrics?

[JamesE 5]

I've done a search...

 

According to the Haynes manual, the tailgate electrics should disconnect. I've disconnected the rear wash wipe tube but can't find a plug in the near side rubber gator. Any advice?

 

Also the Haynes manual recommends removing the bolts in the headlining to remove the tailgate - I can see some bolts on the painted shell just behind the weather seal - can I remove the tailgate by undoing them?

The tailgate wiring plugs are down by the nearside tail light, and then the loom runs up the C-pillar and the back of the roof. There's two plugs on models without central locking, and three plugs on models with.
