Thread: swapping a hatch on the nx,and wiring it

Has anyone changed the hatch on an NX?
I sold one once,and even with the headliner all out,I couldnt figure out a way to disconnect the wires.
They run through rubber tubing on both sides by the hinges.
You would think there would be a plug or something for easy removal...but I could not find one.
I dont want to have to cut and splice them all,thats for sure.

Please post any experiences with this.I would like to know before I hack up a junkyard hatch(if I can find one,that is)

I changed it on my NX and used a coat hanger to fish the wires down in

so you pulled them all out of the hatch when you removed the old one?....hmmm never thought of that

According to this link provided by @tswii in this thread - http://www.sr20-forum.com/nx2000/47178-removing-hatch.html (in the last picture)
It shows that the connectors go down in between the B and C pillars, one connector per side.

Its been years since i swapped one, but the connectors were like ^ said.

There are 2 connectors at the top of the roof(looking up from the back seat)that you have to disconnect.
You have to pull the headliner first to see the connectors/plastic clips.
