The connector is inside the car. The wire from the taillight assembly backup light passes through a special bakelite style weathertite grommet where it passes through the body. The wire does not move in or out through the grommet -- it's held fast with a crimped cap -- and the grommet (if damaged in the process) can only be pulled inside the car, leaving the taillight assembly still captive.

I notice on taillight assemblies for sale that the wire has been cut.
