Motorizing the boot

There has to be a way to put an actuator on the hatch so you can open and close it remotely. I have been looking for some hardware to make this happen but all the parts I have seen are in Europe.

Anyone know how to get this done and where to get the parts?

^^I did that and it worked for a couple days, then I had to add washers. After adding washers it quit working after a month or so. If I got lucky it would open all the way every once in a while.
