On my 1984 244DL, there was an opening and screw holes to the right of the latch. The motor unit I found in a boneyard fit just right.
IIRC, I did have to remove the latching mechanism. It is not hard, just takes some study on how it's held in. There's a flat u-shaped thing that gets tapped off.
The motor unit has a rod that must connect to the latch, and if it can be connected to the latch with the latch still on the car, life's a lot easier.
I was pleased to find that the spot in the glove box for the switch (upper left) was easy to use, just drilled a hole. One wire only to the motor unit, the ground side can be connected same place as on the courtesy light.
We enjoyed using it. Takes just one push, the motor makes one revolution and "Pop" it's unlatched. (The motor will continue to rotate as long as the button is held down.)
Good Luck, It's a nice upgrade.

PS: I thing in BGVPD I have an extra push button with the little sign that goes under it.
