jcd:

Please don't try to take the kick panel cover off -- it is heat glued on and you will destroy it if you try to pull it off. We just wrecked both of them in my brother's 75 300D. Hard to get replacements, too. His were both water damaged and had cheap nasty speakers in them, but now we have none at all....!

Just where is the break in the line? Sam had one at the lock, along with a "repair" to the trunk lock that disabled the system. The usual failure on these systems is the diaphram in the lock actuator, not the line.

You can fix a broken plastic line with a short bit of rubber hose, no need to glue if it fits.

I can go look at the 75 (it's in my garage up on jack stands with the doors and fenders off!) to see what you are dealing with.

You may have to take the liner off the door -- details if you need them!
