Anyone have any advice on drilling out the rear door molex on an 07 sedan. The wires are VERY tight and i cant slip the plug back through the hole in the body ( car side) to gain access to it from the inside of the car. I cant even pull the plug out far enough to shift it in a way to shove it back through. Ive popped the clips that hold the wire in place but there is still no room to shift the plug around.
Ive got the fronts down ( although i seem to have a crapload more wires to my molex then usual), it actually took me longer to feed the wire through to the inside of the car.
Thanks.

I'm in the middle of a complete overhaul on my 2012 Sport... I have 12AWG speaker wires running through all my doors as well as an extra cluster of cables for future lighting upgrades.
Maybe this will help?
I'd take a picture of the other side, but it's just too damn hard to take the molex out and put back in (hence, I installed those other wires now as well so I wont have to take them apart again)...

For the record, I did fudge some clips on the molex that hold one side to the other, but because the wires run straight through, they hold everything together tightly and they won't budge apart easily even by force, lol. I may put some freeze proof silicone around the wires where they go into the molex, but for now they stay as you see them.
