hahahaha. oh boy. that clip is a royal mfer. you have to reach inside, from under the dash, and release the connector from the inside, it is a cam lock style clip. i assume that it was installed backwards by a body shop, it is hell to get reconnected, mine is still not right from when i ran my speaker wires.

I took mine out by removing the rubber boot then taking 2 small screw drivers and a pair of pliers and using them in sequence to pry the little tabs down and pull and the one that goes to the door is the one that you work on that way the one going to the body stay put. It is not that bad just a few mintues and it's freed up.
