I used two of the door-panel holes as a reference in my adapter plate, to get everything into the proper location, as they did in the installation instructions.
Here are some pics of what I came-up with.
As you can see by the instruction sheet, a good deal of measuring was done to accomplish this!
hello i really like your mods to the electric windows, did you make the brackets your self, did they work? if so i would be interested in a set of your brackets.
