My replacement doors didn't have the holes for the power wires to feed through. I cut them with a hole saw. I see there are also two dimples in the sheet metal for a small set of holes I assume. But, my wire harness boot doesn't have any provision for screws. Was there some kind of a metal washer/retainer that went over these to keep in door? The boot seems to stay in hole pretty snug by itself.

I see that article mentions a plastic retainer on the boot for the body . Mine does have that with the pins. I assume there is also the same for the door then? Anyone?

Anyone have electric windows or door locks who could look in their door to see if there is a retainer screwed to door to hold rubber boot to door?

I just checked my parts stash and the boots have the plastic retainer screws on both cowl and door side.I then went and checked my 72 Model J with factory P/W and the dimples were never drilled for the plastic retainers ! Go figure. Those boots will ( lock ) in those holes pretty securely without plastic retainers but I do think they should have the retainers on both ends.
