[QUOTE="Specialtyperformanceparts, post: 1689735, member: 24406"] I have of course removed many of them from Raptors, to F-150's to Rangers, because we tested and designed the adapters for them. Of the many times I have removed them, they have ranged from easy to click and slide off, and quite tight. There are 2 possible reasons. First, in general, it isn't usually a difficult task. They are just plug in connectors. However, since they are weather tight seals, the rubber seal inside can kind of stick to the other connector if it's been on there a while. Think of any rubber gasket or any rubber seal that's been sitting between 2 things for a while. It can over time sort of stick. You can usually wobble the connector while holding the clip until it breaks free. The second thing to keep in mind is if the connector has a red tab on it. If it does, and I think the 21 Raptors do, but the 2nd gens did not, then you need to slide the tab/clip down to release it so you can press down on the release. That red tab is a lock and when it is snapped up, it is extremely hard to remove because it is doing what it is supposed to. In all though, if you pay attention to those 2 things, it is rare to have issues. John [/QUOTE]
