Door solenoid location

Hey Guys,
In one of the first 5 issuses of Project Old School they did a tech article on 1 piece windows & power door locks(shaved handles). They had mounted their solenoids at the very bottom corner of the door, and you can see the 4 bolt heads.

This would be fine if I was going to cover the whole inner door, but I like it how it came factory. I'm planning on shaving the doors on my truck, and want to mount these solenoids up higher somewhere behind the inner door panel.

Have any of you guys did this, and where did you mount yours? Also would mounting the "poppers" in the lower rear bottom corner of the cab(closest to bed) be the best place to mount these? How hig could I mount them without them interfering with any of the inner mechanical working parts in the doors?


P.S. after locking my truck up in a parking lot I spend about 5-10 mintues(no joke lol) just pulling on the door handles, and pushing in on the button constantly. This is so I will quit doing this & to the clean up the exterior at the same time. I even attract some people that think i'm breaking into my own truck too.
TIA,
David
