I am attempting to replace the hatch on my R53. While removing the wire loom I've come across a small module installed on the interior of the hatch door on the driver's side. The module is the antenna disconnecting switch. It has a Roka style plug (part of the wire loom) inserted into the switch. See the attached photo. Problem? There doesn't appear to be a way to disengage the plug from the switch. I've tried everything I can think of (pushing, pulling, turning or a combination of all of these) and have yet to figure out how the Roka plug disengages. The small square openings on the side appear to be a release of some sort but manipulating these has not helped. As a result, I'm unable to remove the wiring loom from the existing hatch door and reinstall it in the replacement hatch door. Also, I cannot figure out why it has a green arrow drawn on it. Aligning this arrow with the green dot below doesn't allow any action. Can anyone tell me how this Roka plug separates from the switch? Thanks.

 

Hoping this might help. Taken directly from my Bentley

 

Gadzooks!!! It worked. Thanks, I owe you a beer or 10. If you're ever in Dallas, let me know.

 

Ha ha - my pleasure. I'm happy I could contribute something useful for a change.
A root beer would be just fine - thanks!
