    Just had these (white cad) plated. You guys that have installed. Any problems that I may run into. Or is his easy? I will buy felt for the window guides. Glue them on

    Be prepared for your forearms to look like you got into a fight with a pack of cats.

    Jason is correct but it is easy except if your doors are already installed. If so you will need to pull the doors to cut the holes and drill push tab holes in the cowl and doors. You will need to drill new holes back in the qtr window area, easy to do.
    I plan on installing power windows, locks and many more options in the GSX. My black convertible has every available option and I would not have it any other way. Go for it you will be happy you did.

    This is just from doing new door handles and lock cylinders on the outside! Should be one of them "fun jobs" with all the benefits of feeling like a job well done. The book probably gave a dealership 15 hours for the whole job. Keep track of you time and post it here OK? I swear they left sharp edges on stamping sheet metal parts on purpose!! ws

    Rear harness runs in the wire loom under driver's seat..follows taillight harness and forms the letter T behind back seat upper cushion......front harness runs behind the defrost ducts...from driver's A-pillar to passenger A-pillar.

    There are a few hooks that hold the front harness in place. They're sheetmetal screwed into the firewall. Pretty much everything needs to come out to run that front harness the right way

    Now does this harness run through Big hooks behind cluster. With the main harness. Or just follow firewall up high?

    To quote George......."front harness runs behind the defrost ducts...from driver's A-pillar to passenger A-pillar."

    To add to this, the power door lock harness.....does it share the same clips or does it get it's own clips?
