Fixed the Rear Door Wiring Harness 2x...now what?

Need some help on this issue that we all know about, the rear door wires breaking in the boot.

I repaired these wires the first time around 2010 using butt connectors.

Around 2013, the wires broke again at the ends of the butt connectors, so after researching the issue further, I soldered about 2-3 inches of wire between all the broken wires and again the problem was fixed.

This past weekend I noticed the rear window would not roll down, pulled back the boot and sure enough, more broken wires.

I do not know electrical stuff very well, but I can't imagine that continuing to splice in new pieces of wire is a good idea. And, I am running out of wire to work with. I can't find the wiring harness anywhere to replace with a new one.

Bottom line, I am so **** frustrated with this issue that I don't know what to do to fix it.

PLEASE HELP!!

You can try these. We used them when we built hotrods. Youll lose power with the door open but dont have to worry about wire flex.
