Jeremy (or anyone else who has done this fix)-
Could you provide more details about the actual wire repair. Did you solder in new wires, or use connectors? What actual length of new wire was needed? I assume stranded wire is better than solid wire, but is there a specific gauge and insulation type that I am looking for? How did you insulate the repaired wire bundle? I have no idea if heat shrink tubing will stand up to repeated bending like that. If I tackle this, I would rather not have to do it more than once (per door).

Thanks!
