Pics of door poppers needed

I shaved my door handles and wanted some input on where to mount the door poppers to push the door open. Also, if possible could you guys give me any heads up about what to watch out for with the solenoids and power windows. It appears that the door bottoms may get crowded with the solenoids and the window motor. Thanks, you guys are always helpful.

Re: Pics of door poppers needed

I do have the bear claws installed but was not sure if there was going to be enough to kick it so you could grab the lip of the door. I figured you guys would have the experience and answers. What about the windows? It looks like I may have an issue with the glass. I kicked out the bottom of the mount to bring the glass in. Due to the curve of the door. My guess is that the channel will "guide" the glass. I went frameless and polished edge with the 1/4 inch channels. Picking up the rest of the glass net month at the Daytona swap meet. Thanks again for the help.

not sure about the glass, but my doors are easy to open with the bear claws. With my 100+ pound pulls the door fies open about 5 inches, haha.
