No, I don't think that would be possible, unless one were to split the bellows lengthwise. IIRC, I pulled the wiring back out of the door and pushed the vac lines into the door. I hope that I remember correctly, as I still have to replace the passenger side some day.

I inspected the driver side area and found no plug and dampness. It has not rained today so I do not know if this moisture was recent or longstanding. It was strange to look down into that area and see the ground below. Working on finding a rubber one way valve.

Thanks everyone for input. Next is to take off door panel and check for window seal leaks.

Not sure if that will solve it but those holes had to be plugged.
