I have pix but basically you make a paper template from the right side holes and flip it to mark the left side. Then you drill small pilot holes using a bit stop to keep from drilling too deeply and hitting the wires in the A pillar, then enlarge those holes carefully. That’s it. One of the simplest Vanagon mods and, trust me, it won’t go unused.
