Dead boring.  Much more interesting to drill nice deep holes, then
fix where they came through on the outside, move the one over a
quarter-diameter, and re-run the wires down the pillar.  Now *that's*
something a man can get his teeth into (more seriously, it's possible
to get drill stops that actually bolt to the drill bit, in case you
think the little tape flag isn't sufficient).

But since you've got that so nicely in hand, riddle me this.  How do
you get access to the little outward-facing nub on the quarter window
shaft that prevents (on late-model vans) opening said window more
than 90 degrees?  If the answer is "drill a hole in the door skin" I
already know that one, and I'm getting desperate enough to do
it.  Those windows are the poor man's air conditioner, and I require
the use of them.

Yours,
David
