its possible to remove the wiper hatch harness without cutting any wires. really all it took was a little manipulation to get the connectors through. suggest tying some fishing line on to each as a precaution before pulling em through but i didnt have any problems.
Nissan article DIY: Replacing Your Rusted Hatch says to cut them. this isn't necessary.
now if i can only figure how to get them back into the other one. This may not be so easy.

alright, getting the wiper harness fed back into the new hatch is a pain in the arse.
wear latex gloves unless your retarded like me because theres grease all over the harness.
new hatch didnt have wiper so i cut and sealed certain wires but principles the same.
-weed wacker line works best -thread line through the hatch in a loop-split harness wrap all the way up.-wrap connectors to line with duct tape and pull through one at a time to avoid getting stuck-viola done
tried em all at once, not happening

Well, if you are replacing the hatch with one WITHOUT wiper harness, you can first use some wire to make the route, then, disassemble the harness (remove the plastic connectors) tape the cables to the wire, lube them (silicone grease or silicone spray works best) then start pulling SLOWLY. The easiest way is from the hatch towards the front (hatch removed of course) If stuck, start pulling back and forth. There is a "channel " inside the hatch for this. If you tape all the wires (making one, single fat wire) will be hard to bend where the glass meet the hatch deck.I tape it in intervals of 6 inches or so and went smooth and easy.
