Shaved door handle

How did you connect it to the latch? Do you have any photos? Thanks for the info on the water issues. The kit was from another site member, nib. I was looking for tips on install to help me save time.

I dont have a picture and my door panels are in place... but here is a quick illustration of what I did. I actually used a metal brake line to make an s-curve track for the cable so it would go from the outside of the door to the inside. If you connect the cable from the same direction as the rod, it works well. Use some adjustable cable clamps if you can find some at a hardware store but the crimp kind will work. With the adjustable, you can fine tune it. Leave some slack in the cable too instead of making it tight. I put some oil in the brake line for the cable to slide, but a bike cable housing would be better. I tacked some washers on the brake line for mounting to the door.

Try replacing the interior door handle rod with a cable as well, otherwise the door handle will move when you press your remote to trigger the door to open.

Another tip... the remote control module as a setting for momentary switch or 2 second between on/off.... find what works best for your door. I think momentary is what I used.

I hope that helps some...
