Power window wire hole location on doors
« on: November 14, 2014 - 10:39:54 PM »
Does anyone have measurements on where the hole is in the door for factory power windows, as well as size of the hole.  Doing body work this week to get the car ready for paint the following.  Any help and pictures is much appreciated!

If you look through my Pace Car thread, I had to cut holes for my power windows. There is a dimple already there showing where to start. I think I posted some pics.

I also noticed that the original power window rubber hole grommet (on the wiring harness) was shrunk smaller than the original hole on my old doors.

So, you have to cut a hole just large enough to hold in the grommet at it's locking groove and not the size someone here will measure and tell you to use.

Do you have the grommits/wiring harness?  Take a digital gauge and measure it.

Hole area has a dimple ready to drill.

thank you got this taken care of...

now, how about on the door jam side on the car.  I see a dimple, but it is a bit higher up.   I assume this is correct but want to be sure.    any reference pictures would be great

thank you!
