Custom door harness advice

Is there sone kind of tutorial or forum post on how I could create my own door wiring? I'm not new to creating my own connections and wirings, but I never had to make anything waterproof before. So, sadly the part where the wires are flexing between the door and body are disintegrating, with a couple of wires completely broken right at the plug, and the original style connectors (and pins) are basically unobtanium. The only thing I can think of is getting some kind of universal plug(s) that I can just toss into the door (or chassis), but the original rubber protecting slips onto the giant connector it's using right now. So basically without the original connector there's nowhere to plug the rubber end onto or into, and on top of that on the chassis theres a rectangular cutout, so those normal round ones are not even usable here. So, what should I do? Should I just weld the original holes in with some sheet metal and drill them out to those universal rubber hose's size? I'm genuinely lost here. I also don't know what these parts are usually called, so doing research is pretty hard. Any advice is appreciated!
