Rear hatch question

[quartersaw]

I am going to transplant the front end from my '99.5 Golf, to my 2002 Jetta Wagon. I'm going to replace the radiator,and the fans, at the same time. The rear hatch on the Jetta is not in great shape. The Golf hatch is pristine. The Golf hatch looks like it probably won't fit the Jetta, but I gotta ask...

No. Look at the respective shapes of the hatch "hole", taillights, etc.

Wish it were so. Easy to find a good golf hatch. Not so easy for wagons

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks!
My Golf body is in great shape, but it's been off of the road, and sitting outside. It's been infested by
mice, and the car is basically ruined. A real shame. Since it is a California car, I'm going to transplant as much as possible from it to the Jetta Wagon.
