For the people that have ran dash cam/radar wires to the passenger fuse panel, how did you tuck the wires after it gets to the passenger side of the windshield? The panels are not right against the windshield so the cables just come out very easily. Can't find a way to make it tight and secure.

Tuck it in at the break up there shown in your picture (go up through the break)... and go to the outside and then run it down

I know I'm not done yet but is this supposed to be flat when it's finished? because it's very bulky and I can't see how the other side will be flat unless it's tucked very deep?

Or do you just avoid tucking it and just run it this way??

your pictures are not giving enough perspective.

Does your a-pillar not look like this?

Oh, you have a convertible. Probably a different a-pillar then. Your first picture in post #4, can't you just push the wire in more so it isn't sticking out?

I just finally did it. I actually had to yank the plastic down pretty far because there were some clips towards the edge that prevented the wires from going deep enough.

Here's the end result from what I'm doing. It's a little bulky but I can deal with this.

Looks good to me. Good luck with the ground wire if you are using a power magic pro. :)

I saw that too. Wasn't sure how well it would work due it the nut not backing onto a metal base. I ended up using the ground in fuse panel.
