I'm in the process of designing a roof cargo basket and I want to integrate an LED light bar to the front of it. the basket will be in place of the existing roof rails. I will remove the old and use the existing rivnuts to attach the basket. Can anyone give me some ideas on how I can route the wiring down into the interior? I prefer a "no drilling required" thought process.

thank you!

Really only 2 options.
Run the wire through the clutch grommet(if you have an automatic trany) or through the side of the OEM wire grommet, then up under the windshield side cover.
Or out the rear through the tail light grommet then up along side the hatch to the top.

I used a sharpened metal coat hanger to poke through the grommets, wire taped to the end, to pull it through.
Once the wire is through the grommet, the rubber seals around the wire very nicely. No sealant used and no leaks as of yet, on mine. I went out the tail light then up. It is a long run but I liked that the wire was not hanging out the front of the rig.
