Return to the car and clean around the area for proper sealing. Clean the hand cup and lock while you have it accessible. Put the inside mechanism and the outside mechanism back together as they were. You may need to turn the emblem some to get it to drop back into the matching hole in the inside piece. Note that the dust cap fits into the hole only one way. Once seated correctly, put the Torx screws back in and tighten down. Put the black wire harness plate back in correctly. Attach with the 3 Phillips head screws and 1 Torx screw. Replace the wire bundles. Use a pair of pliers to place the long thin piece back on to the ball joint and snap together. Plug the electrical connections back in. Double check that all connections are made again and nothing is left over. Be sure to put the drain hose back on if you took it off. Open the hatch with your key and with the release on the door and the key fob. Replace the black hatch cover, pop back into all of the various holes starting from the bottom of the glass and working your way around the sides. You may need to hit with the heel of you hand to get it in properly. Put back in the 2 screws. Remove the protective cover over the emblem.
Enjoy!
