Turn of SoundAktor/Structure Borne Sound

I just completed the physical disconnection of the device.  Vast improvement, highly recommended. 

Applies to a 2016 GLI SEL. YMMV
Known differences from most youtube videos:

1. On the GLI, the device is only two wires (hence not addressable).
2. There is only one device under the rain pan, so don't stress out about not getting the right thing.  It's a round puck about 8cm in diameter and maybe 6cm thick.
   
3. There are no clips holding the rain pan - the weatherstripping overlaps and holds the front edge of the 2 part pan.
4. The space is unimaginably tight to insert an adult size XL hand.  Be prepared for some pain.

There is a pinch clip that locks the connector together.  Use an inspection mirror to help find it.  After disconnecting the electrical coupler, I chose to cover the wiring harness end in a section of bike inner tube and zip-tie it to the wires, preserving the use of the connector for a future user.  This also will dampen out any vibration so the loose coupler does not become a rattle.  I relocated the coupler down behind another wire to keep it from moving around as well.

Pull your hands out, replace the weather stripping and enjoy!  I noticed the difference before I even got out of the driveway.  Biggest difference is when you are still in gear, slowing down.  No throb - just quiet (since the ECU has probably cut fuel and spark).
