jcd:

There are three lines to the driver's door: Supply, open, and close. The open and close lines have a "T": in them at the hole, the supply line is solid plastic there. You can dislodge the rubber boot on the door that encloses the lines, maybe you will be lucky and be able to splice it there. Sam's was broken about and inch and a half from the actuator. We pulled all the lines out of the doors and removed them, no breaks so far (knock wood)!

The line has probably fatigued in the rubber boot.
