Hey Guys,
I’m trying to run speaker wire to the original speaker location located above the rear view mirror/above the windshield. I’m trying to run the wire using fish tape, but it seems like there is no opening at the top portion of the “A” post. Has anybody done this before? If so how do I go about doing this?
Thanks,
Josh

If you remove driver side kick panel and get a bright light and lookup the backside where hinges are .you will see
Where all the panels come together
dash bottom of windshield under dash ,You will see a slit insert some stiff wire it will come out by roof or right behind visor mount hole ,Also your done light takes the same route . I think that is orange wire for dome light.

I’ve already removed the kick panel & used the flat fish tape you’d use to fish wire through house walls. It seems like there is a blockage at the top of the “A” post. Maybe I need to use a smaller wire????

When I did my dome light wire, I used a speedometer cable.

I used a drain snake used for clogged drains. The smallest diameter, and rotate it as you go. Took me almost two hours , but it did work. Good luck!
