Bolt-in power windows and poppers 1988 Chevrolet 1500

Kevin detached the pull-rod from the latch, then...

...cleaned the latch assembly with spray cleaner

...and blew it dry with compressed air.

With the door latch operating properly, it was time to remove the 50-pound solenoid shaved handle kit from the box and read the included instructions.

With the steel inner door panel removed, Kevin determined the best location to mount the solenoid.

Kevin decided he needed to cut out a notch in the door to position the solenoid mounting bracket properly.

With the notch cut out and the rough edges filed down, Kevin...

... fashioned a template from the Electric-Life cardboard box, then used a Miller plasma cutter to cut out the pattern from a steel plate.

Here's the solenoid mounted in place. Notice that Kevin cut a notch into the door, allowing easy access to attach the pull-cable to the solenoid.

The 50-pound poppers provided by Electric-Life are engineered to conceal on the front of the door instead of mounting it in plain view at the rear of the door. Kevin drilled a 3/4-inch hole to house the Electric-Life popper.

Here's the popper. Notice its collar has an Allen-head set screw. Kevin pushed the popper through the 3/4-inch hole and then tightened the collar down with an Allen wrench to complete the job.

As evidenced by this photograph, Electric-Life's front-mounted poppers really add a custom touch to any shaved door application. Like we said, real customs are shaved inside and out!
