Exterior power

[Johncmng]

What do other people do to get power to the exterior without drilling. Specifically for driving exterior lights.

the battery is exterior, and the lights are exterior, why would you need to drill?

OK, more specifically, how do you snake the wires up to the roof rack to power the lights. I want to see how other people do it. I don't want the wires showing.

I ran mine up the side of the window. There is a small grove between the glass and the weather stripping. I covered my wires in nylon braided sleeve and then used a trim pry tool to push the two wires into the groove. You can also wrap the wires in electrical tape. Then temporarily remove the plastic piece at the base of the windshield and route the wire into the engine bay and reinsert the plastic piece.

Here is a video were another forum member did it.
