i did a search, and found some information, but its not very helpful. I amalmost done with my shaved handles, all the wiring is hooked up, the remotes work, but i cant figure out where to mount the solenoids. it would be so much easier if my door wasnt put together (door skin and inner panel together, but they are so i'm stuck.) anyway, if anyone has done this, where did you put the solenoids? a detailed explanation would be great but pics would be even better, TIA.

I don't have pics but you can mount them toward the front of the door about 2-3 inches back from the plunger. I used one of the holes for the door panel, the other one I drilled a little inward.

Depending on the brand of solenoids, they can run real close if not touch your window base, so you may need to adjust accordingly. However you don't have much room because of the scissor track.

I have done these for about 20 years and have found a bent hanger works real good for the cable, just give it a little slack...

Are you talking about solenoids for power locks or solenoids (door poppers) for use with shaved handles?
