Wire routing for overhead accessories?

[SunSoaked]

Need some help on routing wires inside roof. My Custom Deluxe is bare bones and I need to run power in the roof for the running lights, mirror map lights and rear courtesy lamp. Is it possible to run wire down the A-Pillar or across the roof and down the rear pillar? I pulled the visor tonight and could only poke wire a limited distance. I'm thinking the metal is folded 90 degrees at the seams where the panels butt together. How did the factory do it?

rear cab light in or out side versions up b-piller and across .

Thanks. Rear should be easy once I make the hole for the courtesy lamp.

The front might be tricky. I couldn't find a passage at the top inside the pillar to fish it down. I'll give it another shot tommorow.

Yep...clearance lights in a pillar.....cab lights up rear cab corner..

Use a stiffer wire.
Maybe a #12 solid copper wire and bend a close loop in the end.The small loop makes it easier for it to get past obstructions in the pillar.

and if it was me and the wire is that close to the main ground bar on the driver side by the brake pedal run a dedicated ground wire also .

Spent a good hour last night trying to get a piece of solid core wire thru the A-Pillar. Ain't happening! Doesn't matter if I go from the bottom up or the top down, it's not going.
However, it's a moot point as I was able to get it fairly easy from the d/s front roof above the door and down the B-Pillar. Either way, I now have power where I need it.
