Not that hard to do: - remove the two screws holding the fuse "box" to the body. - Move the fuse box as far down and out-of-the-way as possible. - you will see the wire harness coming from the door, behind where the fuse box was. - there will be one to five or so plastic electrical connectors emanating from the door wiring harness. - disconnect all plastic electric connectors (matching up will be easy, as they will each have unique connectors) - pull the wires through the body near the door hinge opening - pull the old rubber boot over the now loose wires - install the new rubber boot over those loose wires - reverse the above process
Cheers, MJS
