[V6-12v] Rear Door Speakers

Actually, if you are trying to combat corrosion at the connectors for  
an Audi, there's a specialty version of dielectric grease that  
contains suspended micro-particles of zinc available from a few  
different manufacturers (such as Noalox from Ideal Products in the  
USA). The zinc cuts/abraids the oxidized surface of aluminum  
connectors when they push together, creating a fresh patch of non- 
oxidized aluminum, and the dielectric grease it's embedded in keeps  
oxygen from immediately oxidizing the surface again. Cheap, good  
solution once you get any serious oxidation off the surface... worked  
wonders for my blinker and tail light connectors as well, ridding me  
of a previously regular problem of them getting oxidized...
