So now I have a camera installed, and the wires ran into the inside of the 4runner, but their not connected because the window keeps cutting them. What am I doing wrong?!

Finished my backup camera install this past weekend. Zip tie your camera wires to the existing wire harness. Do not have any slack dangling in the hatch cavity. If the camera wires are snug against the existing harness, they won't get caught on the window.
The attached photo shows rubber grommet where the camera wire feeds into cavity from exterior camera. Wire is zip tied to existing harness and runs to driver side of cavity. You can see the red and yellow RCA plugs running to the left (they are loose in the photo since I wasn't done yet, but the final install has the wires very snug against the harness).
