shaved doors, solenoids, and poppers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wootdog · 03-13-2004, 02:25 PM

Starting the install in a few minutes. I have instructions for the solenoids, but not the door poppers. I did a search, and didn't find anything in reference to XXL who had a good writeup previously. Tried to go to my old truck site and didn't get in. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Kerry

i put my poppers in the rocker panel where the lowest door rubber bumper would be, just had to enlarge the hole a little.

I put mine on the lower corner on the latch side, the only real poblem I had was the angle of the rocker and the angle of the door would cause it to bind and not close right so be sure to test fit before you make it all perminent.

How did you get them in? I tried making the hole somewhat larger. But I don't want to make it too large. I have tried putting a hole on the inside of the truck and looks like I can even do that right. I can not get any kind of tool in there on the inside. I am afraid of messing this up big time. You see if I make the hole larger enough on the outside to get the back of the popper in, I would have to use a large washer to keep the popper from coming out of the hole. With the angle of the rocker, I can not get the washer completely in front of the popper. KInd of a catch 22. All suggestions would be appreciated. I am about to pull my hair out. Kerry

Without pics its hard to know exactly what you have, does it not have tabs or some form of way to attach it with pop rivets or screws? I made mine from scratch and welded them in so i cant tell you a solution without seeing what you have to work with.
