Hole Drilling On Roof?
Thinking about drilling a wiring hole in the roof so I can install a light bar on the OEM roof rack.
Anybody do this?
I'm thinking about running the wires down the A pillar and then behind the dash where I have an open terminal on my auxiliary fuse block.
Suggestions? Warnings?
Thanks.

I haven't done it on my truck but have done it on my camper. I used a cable gland like below and has been problem free for 5 years.

For all my roof light installs on various trucks and SUV's I never drilled but was able to route the cable cleanly off the rack and into the cab through a door jam. That is just my personal experience!
