I need to do this and route the emergency frunk pop cable to the passenger side marker light while I’m at it.

LOL. If I were your neighbor, I'd be hanging out in your garage daily.

Leather door spears. Not too bad to install. Now just want the visors, steering column surround, fuse and mirror adjustments.

Needed a new drivers due to scratching of the plastic. Got them used for not much more than 2 plastic spears.

Thanks! Second time doing it. I just used a soldering gun to detach and reattach. I know you used screws but this way I didn’t have to worry about depth.

Much easier than it looks. Taking off the panel is just as hard as replacing the spears.
