Not difficult. Pass the wire through the same tube that carries the power window wire etc. For this, you'll have to detach that tube at both ends and use a metal taar at the door end and push it out from the other end. Then connect the wire to the taar using adhesive tape or something and pull the taar out so that the wire now passes through the tube.

Not required if your cutter has insulated handles. Preferable end is the battery end however. Downstream of the cutting point you cant damage anything unless the system is powered on.

Ideally a crimping plier. Next best, a regular plier.

Remove it and replace it with a damping mat of the same size.

For full damping, i.e. one sheet on the door inner skin, to replace the plastic sheet and wherever you can accomodate on the door panel, you're looking at about 12-15 sq. ft. per door.

Approx 7-8 kilos. If the enclosure has a broader base, it'll not topple.
