Connection for the two wires running up the hatch strut go to a connection on the trim on the passenger side triangle window. You'll see two blades poking out for the connection. Third wire connects the bottom defrost tab as you've already discovered.

On the passenger side, on the plastic trim piece that goes around the hatch strut mount, there are two rectangular holes next to the round hole where the mounting bolt goes for the hatch strut. There should be two electrical connections one for positve and one for negative.
If you only see one connection, you may have to disconnect the hatch strut and remove the trim piece to verify if the electrical connection is broken or missing.

Take your old one with the wiring connection on it... Unscrew the tip of the old strut adn slide the wiring connections off. Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly...
If you can't unscrew the old one, just cut the tip off. You should be able to unscrew the tip on the new one though.
