Wiring under headliner

JARblue · 01-01-2020, 07:37 PM

I used a q-tip to shove the wires as deep and gently as I could without disturbing the headliner mounting points. Worked like charm

Wrapping a microfiber towel around a thin panel tool also worked sufficiently.

That's not the only place he shoves q-tips

I dunno if my headliner is different than some. No way I could have gotten a q tip in there. I couldn't even slot a tiny screwdriver past the opening.

I ended up just using some silicone to adhere the wires in place but mostly out of sight.

When I fitted an auto dimming mirror I removed the rain sensor cover (pulls off) and ran the cable to the interior light unit (which I had removed from the headliner). Thats as far as I went as I used the light as a power source (sub light)

Perhaps if you did that and also removed the interior light you could use a length of wire coathanger to see if its possible to get to the top of the A pillar.

To permit the the entry of the cable from the auto dimming mirror I filed a small notch in the rain sensor cover.
