connector between door and car

[Adams_16v]

im trying to fit some decent speaker cable from the front door speakers to an amp, but the only way is through the gromit between the door. this aint a problem but i cant seem to get the plug out so i can get the cable inbetween!

haynes says lift the securing clip then pull, but i cant friggin see a securing clip!

any ideas?

A hammer or saw maybe????

I dont know about the older models but on my new car you have to slide the connector up (i think) was ages ago i did mine.

Should be a square sort of plastic which slides over it from the top, pull this up and the plug can be removed.

get the plug from the inside loose too, and drill through here and the corresponding place on the outer part,

then feed your cable through, and do the almost impossible task of getting it all back together lol

Dont need to undo torx screws before removing securing clip.
