Hi all,

I am about to replace the lift-gate struts in my X3. I picked them up from the dealer and an pretty comfortable with
replacing components like these since I am restoring my Dad's 325i. Anyway, the connector cable is rather long and
would like to know where the connector is as the cable goes into the chassis along the roof line? Does it snake along
the roofline towards the front of the car? Does it take a turn and connect in the middle of the car above the trunk
area?

Would be great to know what panels I have to remove before I start ripping the car apart?

Paul
