mine was broken wires in the rubber boot between the tailgate n body
could also be a siezed spindle, duff motor or fuse

yeah i've heard of that too, my old mk2 used to have a bad connection on the rear screen de-mister. that used to break somewhere near the boot hinge. could be the same thing!
does it try and make a noise when you operate it? if it hums a bit it could be a siezed motor. if there is no noise, it could be the fuse!
