Another trick BUT for the passenger side A pillar...

If you have a lighted vanity mirror on the passenger side sun visor you can
use the existing wires to pull your fish wire down, then pull your new wires
back up along with lighted vanity mirror wires.  I also like to use a little
water soluble wire pulling lubricant.

Fun stuff that requires patience and perseverance.

I use a thin piece of welding rod, but any wire should work.

One trick to make this easier is to remove your sun visor.  The pivot mount
hole gives you an access point where you get a reasonably straight shot down
the pillar.

Cheers,

Jeff

How hard is it to get wires to go up or down that pillar? Any tricks
to the job?
