Ah, but therein lies the rub.  You need quite a bit of flexibility because
the boot make a 90 degree turn just after it leaves the body.  Additionally,
the boot is ribbed (no condom jokes please) at the 90 degree section, so
anything that's too rigid will just dig in to the boot and go no further.
It's probably easier to pull the boot from the body as well as the door, but
the morass of wires behind the fuse box made me shy away from doing too much
pulling in that area.

Cheers,

Jeff

I can't recall how the boot exactly looks, but why not just use a thin
cable snake?  I would imagine the rigidity of it would make short work
on the problem.

BTW, my beast has all that power crap and is exhibiting signs of cranky
door locks, so I'm sure this will be on my fun list sometime soon.
