Running wires from your doors?

If your running any type of wires from your doors into the cab how are you doing it so the wires don't get pinch? Our doors shut and open a lot different than other trucks and I want to find a safe way to run my electric windows and speaker wires from the doors into the cab. Pictures would be great or a company you bought the wire conduit from.

Thanks

Re: Running wires from your doors?

I used the ones simular to the "Magnum shooters" on the link provided (Bottom of page).

You can get them in any combination to run power window, door silonoids as we as for a dome light.

Re: Running wires from your doors?

I found a set of full power doors at the wrecking yard and got the OEM rubber boots out of them. (Door to jamb boot)

Re: Running wires from your doors?

I am a cheap bastard, I ran my speaker wires along the door hinge on my '57.

I did the same but I covered them in 2 layers of heat shrink and tied them to the bottom hinge
