I'm prepping to do the install of my BC Broncos power window kit and I've gone through the instructions and tried to make sure I've jumped every hurdle once so it will go smoothly.
I want it to be easier/more planned out as when my 6 yo helps; I can't take on a bunch of side quests to solve issues that arise.
I've hit a potential stopping point and want to see if anyone else has dealt with this.
On step 8 of the instructions (this link opens their pdf) it says to fish the wire through the opening behind the dash in the kick panel.
I've jammed my hand up on the drivers side and located the opening!
The issue is that the passenger side does not have the same hole? Or it feels like it has been filled? I did not remove the glove box, but I was able to get my fingers visible between the dash/kick panel/door gasket to confirm where I was in the world and then moved over and found the same point where the hole through the kick panel is, but where the drivers I could bend my finger down and into the pillar, the top of the passenger side is solid/bent over?
Am I just missing the spot since I can't bend in the proper way? Could it be capped off?
I'd like to keep the wiring inside the jamb for cleanliness, but coming out and along the strap isn't awful. Adding some velcro to the wires to keep them in or using WH "new" hidden strap (something like Mitch did in this video). I'm not a big fan of the push pins/interrupts for the doors, so the wiring will be put into loom.
OR I guess if it is capped, I could remove the glove box and drill a hole as high up in the jamb (behind/hidden by the dash) and go that route, but I'm not trying to add too much time and effort to the install already.
I will be replacing all the felts and channels along with this install (and spraying cleaner and then coating the latch gears with silicon) so this will be an all weekend job with a 6 yo in tow.
If anyone has a thought or dealt with this type of problem before; I'd love to hear how you solved it.
