Oh, excellent! I mentioned those exact same boots in another thread when you were originally researching! I've had them in my Summit cart for about 6 months now! Happy to hear that they've worked well. They're pretty cheap.

Thanks for the response!

Sure - the only issue I had was drilling the holes large enough in the doors.

The rubber part on the elbow that pulls into the door/door frame opening is about 1/2" and it takes a fair bit of drilling through some pretty thick metal @ that size drill bit.

To get into the door, I was using a cordless and had to maneuver it into the bottom of the door and push the drill past the window mechanism. Once there, I could get my arm up to about my elbow into the actual door cavity and get some leverage.

I didn't get a 100% clean drill hole, and in hindsight, a stepped drill bit would probably be the way to go, but I was working outside in the Florida sun, so I just did what I could and was able to make it all work.

That's great Quarterwave, and thanks for all the info and confirming the door wiring boots worked OK. I have a stepper bit, so I'll use that when I get to it.

Nice work.
