[WHOSNEXT]

I need to run a wire from the back of the outside roof to the inside, what is the best way?

Remove one of the corner marker lights and go through the grommet. Be sure to seal it up with Black RTV.

And if you want to run it down behind the instrument panel, you can run it behind the pillar. I got some pictures of this during my CB antenna install here.

He said the rear of the roof.

Use clear RTV and not black. Black is for losers.

I can't say that I've had a rear clearance light off, but I assume it has the same grommet as the fronts. Problem would then be fishing the wire from the ceiling.

Is it going to the front anyway? I would try to put it under the rubber or alongside the roof-rail tracks and run it inside at a front marker light as ree shows.

X2! I used clear on mine. I did a crappy job and it leaked the first time (in a car wash). I applied a little more clear and it's sealed fine now.

I used black once and it didn't leak.
