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
