While waiting for the body shop to have an opening, we found a little more needed work getting ready for power windows- a boot for wiring from pillar to door. Years ago I bought the repo crap, I figure how bad can they screw up a rubber boot? well one has already split so went with option 2: factory GM boots from a off a 2000 trans am I parted out years a ago.
First off the size hole needed are irregular at 2.75" on pillar and 1.9" hole for the door best time is with doors off, well missed that boat 10 years ago so you either work around like we did on drivers side or remove the door like we did on passengers side. For the size hole to mark, I dug through my stash of carrier shims and found both sizes we needed. We could of bought a hole saw for about $50 but elected to buy an air saw from Harbor Freight ended being about same money but IMO its a more universal tool -
I'm happy with the results, what do Y'all think?
