hahaha well it a bit late for that now then isn't it

Is the wiring for electric windows?
I would imagine going in near the bottom hinge.

For the wagon, I ran wiring directly down the B-pillar. It is open at the top, so you can feed down a length of fine fencing wire. I drilled a hole in the pillar (above the hinge), and fed the fencing wire down. Made a hook from some more fencing wire, then fished through the hole until I caught the main fencing wire run. Pulled the fencing wire through the hole, then used it as a pull-through to run the cable back up the pillar.

For now, the hole is being used to mount a dome light switch. May become a spot to run wiring into the rear door in the future. It looks like I can drill another hole in the door at the same location. Run the wire through the two holes, and use a speaker wiring spring (~6" very light spring) to keep the slack wiring inside the door. Cover the wiring between the doors with a corrugated rubber tube length.

Cheers,

The issue is inside the door where the window channel runs.

Central locking, power windows with option later of speaker and courtesy light from the Calais VT wiring.

I'm thinking at the bottom inside of the glass with this...
