Give it up. I installed one of these:

great.  You have to run a couple extra wires to the
front door units and reverse the polarity of the wires
on the rear and side units, but it works great and the
rear and side units even bolt into the existing holes
for the actuators.  The fronts need to be lowered 1/2"
but it's straightforward. It's also a good time for an
alarm/keyless entry system.
