I ordered my passenger side about a month ago. I checked in yesterday and they are hoping for the end of this month.

Is there any way of adding this to the rear doors at all?
Yup. Just get another set of front handles, and build a harness that ties into the front handle switch sense and return circuits.

ant to say I am lazy but my other vehicle has them on all 4 doors and kinda catches me off guard when I try to open the back doors by the sensor and nothing happens.. especially when my hands are full..

Thank you

I hear ya...but not sure I want to do this install when it's in the 20s :)
That's why I was hoping to have things a month ago while it was still in the 50s at least.
My shop is full so I'd have to do the install in the cold garage.

We received and have on hand at least 30 of the harnesses and will be shipping them shortly.

Thank you all for your patience,

LOL - they'd have to ship today in order to make it for our LAST 48 degree day coming up next week - then the temps go down the toilet again, and this time of year, likely for the duration.

Yeah, the only kicker is that danged plastic connector at the kick panel, otherwise - hmmmmm, wonder what my wife would say? Probably nothing, really - she's used to car parts in the house by now.
She's got a huge 5x7' table for her sewing and quilting......... hmmmm.......
