on the window and door rubber... I asume the catalina and bonneville are the same????? Thanks again Bill

Yes the 2 cars have the same window openings but different trim levels (someone correct me if I am wrong) I have run the cables down there as well on my 67 Chevelle I installed a magnetic read switch to trigger the trunk (I have shaven that as well) and put the cable inside there, one other thing I forgot to mention is that on my 59 Belair I installed a battery back up unit to the both doors as well so I actually had to options of entering the vehicle just food for thought on the battery back up!!
