The electric boot switch is great - when it works properly. Apart from  
attending to  earthing problems and keeping the mechanical parts well  greased 
it would be a good idea to cut an access hole in the panel that is used  to 
line the tailgate so that if needs be you can operate the lock by hand  
(having first crawled into the boot).
 
Something else to consider is do you want the boot switch to work only when 
 the ignition circuit is live?
 
The other thing to look at is the part of the locking mechanism which fits  
on the bumper. To be completely safe from intruders it should not be 
possible to  loosen this while the tailgate is closed. You might want to 
consider 
whether you  want complete safety or emergency access should the electric 
lock fail.
 
With any form of electric locking system a good question to ask yourself is 
 - how would I cope if I had a flat battery. If you have a simple 
mechanical  bonnet latch you may not have a problem but if the system is more 
complicated or  the battery is not in the engine compartment you might need to 
do 
something  about it.
