****************************** ********************

Update:

So, I followed KERRSURF's way and wrecked it! But by doing so I realised how it clipped in place.

SO IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT INTACT, FOLLOW THIS EASY GUIDE!

Ok, so I got time to tackle the wiring harness (around the door hinge) in my mission to chase down the "key won't open window, just close it" issue.

Again...mine's different from others I've seen. It has this plastic shroud (looks like a character from Robots) that had very rusted screws in. I removed these and happily expected to easily open it up.

But no. It's stuck fast. And the expected tab grip doesn't do anything.

So, once again I come with a connector technique question:

How the hell do I remove this without breaking it?



Can't slide it, prising it cracks it, swearing at it just makes it sad.

[KERRSURF]

Just wrestle it off, if it breaks use some Arboseal in the hole.

Well that was my plan B. Was hoping someone could chime in with the non-destructive way.

But I relate

I did it the KERRSURF way...and it's donald'

I'll update the OP with how to do it WITHOUT breaking it. Just in case anyone else has a go.

The wiring loom, beneath, is spotless. Don't want to wreck it.

Excellent.
Perhaps this could be made a sticky.

[Sylux]

Damn right. Don't you pretend this isn't life-changing.

[BUSHWHACKER]

Dude, your tailgate is mingin'!

[Sylux]

I was , too, when I first saw it. It's just the torsion bar so it can be cleaned

[shokenore]

Damn right. Don't you pretend this isn't life-changing.

I think I let out a bit of wee, at least I think it was wee.

Rear tailgate woes

What is that torsion bar thingy for anyway.It does not look strong enough to take the weight of the door,does it have something to do with the switch for the interior light???
