Dome light wires

[Vintage Steel]

I got a wiper motor cover with a dome light in it.
How the hell do you feed the wires down the window channel?
Got any tricks or tips?
I don't want them mounted surface.

Tip: Don't remove the wires from the windshield channel.

My car didn't come with a dome light.
There are no wires, yet.

If you have an old liner from a Mig gun it works well to fish down from the top. Also the smallest drain snake (spiral spring type) works good too. You can pick up one at a home improvement store pretty cheap. Just tape your wire to the end and pull it thru.

maybe a fish tape and some tweezers? just thinking out loud here

I just used a piece of bailing wire and fished it down from the top.

2 hours and 4 beers later I got it. 14ga wire down from the top and a lot of frustration, it finally went through then the tape came off the wire. took me another 45 min to get it again...
It pulled through that time.

Looks great. Did you buy that new, or find one that someone was getting rid of?
What year is your Bronco? Some came with the wires pre-run even if the truck didn't get the light option. Sounds like yours didn't though, unfortunately.
I remember the pain it was running my CB antenna coax cable up through that channel! Ugh.

It came with the top that is on the truck. bought the top, wiper cover and back seat for $125
Traded my ripped up back seat for a sweet guitar pedal
sold my old top for $250 just now got around to installing the dome light.
its a 1969 that I found in a barn (sat there for over 15 years)
has 88k original miles runs great just needs a little TLC
