TWO DOOR VEHICLES- POWER DOOR LOCKS

If I recall correctly it is not possible to fit Packard power door locks to a 2 door vehicle. On a 4 door vehicle the window glass and tracks stop far short of the rear edge of the inner door. On the hardtops and convertibles whose door and quarter windows meet, the door glass and tracks go nearly to the back edge of the door. There is no room for the solenoid, thus power door locks cannot be fitted.

The brochure says "four door cars", the parts book lists only four door cars. It may be possible to remotely mount aftermarket solenoids or even Packard solenoids, never gave it a thought until now.
