I have a 1987 Chevy Silverado, and I added one-touch windows. You no longer have to hold the button down to operate the power windows. You just press it once like in a newer vehicle. The job is almost finished, but I need to run a power wire through the side of the cab and up into the firewall.
On some vehicles this isn't a problem, because you just use the factory holes. Can't do that on my 87 Chevy, because the two holes in the cab do not line up.
The hole on the outside of the cab is about 6 inches lower than the one on the inside. "Use some fish" you might say. I couldn't get that to work because of all the factory wires that are in the way, along with trying to get the tape to slide at odd angles through rubber. I tried for a long time with various implements and it ain't happening.
So can I just drill a hole straight through the side of the cab? It would be just below where the other hole is, for all the factory wiring. I would probably make this hole about 3/4" in diameter, in case I want to run more wires someday. For speakers. Thoughts, opinions? Never done this before so I thought it best to ask first. Thank you
