P/W switch location on 56' door?????

I was wondering where some of you effie owners have mounted the P/W switches as I will mount on the doors. I do not have a center console and the roof console will be too high for the grandkids to reach. I don't know that I want to cut out the round indented hole from the stock regulator stud, but have seen them there. Just looking for some ideas and still trying to KISS,
Thanks in advance.
Jon

Jon, mine are pretty handy in this position. I don't know about kiss because my upholsterer did it.

I ran the wiring thru black plastic tubing by the top hinges, The tubing is anchored at the door end and slides in and out into a hole in the hinge pocket, where I left a wire loop for movement.

Thanks Wayne. But as always, I get sidetracked after salivating over your truck. Anyway, I was also wondering how to route the wires, I bought the S/S braided wire conduit from MF, but it is trashy so I bought the set from Autoloc, it is a very nice set up, but I do not think it will work on our doors. Seems like the pocket is the best place to route so I will do that. Maybe the conduit will work in the pocket...It has been a very long road getting the 1 piece windows and P/W kit in the doors as it had neither. Your switch position does seem ergonomic, so perhaps I shoud wire mine through a door hole and faux mount them until the upholstery guy can get to it this spring. I really like your integrated panel, so I will print off a copy and see if my guy has any ideas. I forget that Ron did your interior.,I hope he sells the "blanks" Thanks again Wayne.
