Wiring and door looms

I'm looking at the harness of the power window kit I purchased from EZwire that is completely assembled and wondering how I feed them through the door looms I purchased from Electric Life (the braided stainless ones) I can disassemble the plugs but can't picture feeding many wires through the looms with the brass connecters crimped to the ends.
What solutions have you done? Cut and splice further down the harness?
It would have been nice if they had left one end that needed to be crimped by the end user.

sometimes you can get them through one at a time with the connectors still on, otherwise it might have to be cut n splice. Good luck. John

If they are the small pin type that are in the connector, I pushed mine out of the connector and taped them together "downstream" on top of each other as to make them as skinny as possible, like this (-----) then "fished them through and re-installed them in the connector. Does any of this make sense?
Good luck,

this is what I did.. and I cut the wires so that the repair will be inside the cab, not in the door (water, etc)
