When using door poppers or power windows how are you running your wires to the solenoids & motors inside the door and maintaining a connection through the door & body?

Not super easy to do and line up as the door rotates on an odd angle. Nonetheless, people have used everything under the sun. Google Door wiring loom and you'll see a bunch of stuff - available Amazon, summit, speedway, AutoLoc, etc. You actually don't need to get super fancy and just drill some decent sized holes and use a length of standard wire loom around the wiring bundle with some ties - essentially like the commercial solution without the sleeves. I did a FB post about it a couple of years ago. Search "loom" on the facebook hot rod group https://www.facebook.com/groups/316641034576/search/?q=loom
The other way you can go is to use contacts that "mate" only when the door is closed. Some have gone this route too. A few sources for that, here's one: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/kcw-10631?seid=srese1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9pef7-if_AIVMQp9Ch0rOAaZEAQYAiABEgKxDfD_BwE

I used the EzContacts from Summit that Steve referenced above.
They come apart so you can used how many contacts you need. I used 4 contacts, 2 for the door popper and 2 for the power window in each door.
