Did you figure it out?  You have to snake it out but it should come out.  May be a bit hard to do if there's rust in that area.

[elmoska]

do i have to remove the metal bracket with the 2 rivets ? or do i have to twist the door or something because of the s shaped rod

I wet sand the box with 600 then clear coat with Satin Clear. This box had a couple of fiberglass repairs as well which I paint with a mixture of greys and blacks before the clear coat
