I agree, but I just double up on the heat shrink, I use one regular size and one size bigger to slip over.

Another solution is to buy the pin release tool for the connector and get the pigtail kit you were going to splice in and change the housings. I am assuming the the connector housing is damaged.. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help out. I am not in the biz per se of selling connectors so not really a vendor either.. I don't want to violate the vendor rules here but help someone from hacking up something that can be left stock..

This is the right answer. You can get the GM Weatherpack plugs/sockets from NAPA.
