Power window wire route for rear windows

I am adding power windows to my 72 Cutlass. I am trying to determine where to run the wires, drill hole for gromet and fasten the screw tabs. I have found a couple dimples, but I would like a reference. I would appreciate any help.

I just did mine and can help - pm me, but...... Check out a very thorough article at www.buickperformanceclub.com/PW.htm

Only major difference, on some cars you wire main power to fuse box like article says and others like my 70 Cutlass go through a breaker on firewall and then to horn relay for main power. So, look at your harness at firewall as it may be different than what is discussed in article.

Attached are a few pictures of the power window wire run on the driver side rear of my '69 4-4-2 convertible. Don't know if it's the same or similar but I've got the pictures on file so I thought I would throw them out for a look-see.
