drill a hole right behind the factory roof rack rails and pull your headliner down a little bit, then run the forward down the driver side pillar. what i did. worked great and everything is hidden.

I ran mine through the drivers side door seal. Looked good and you could only see the wires as they exited the seal and proceeded up onto the roof.

drill a hole or holes in the roof where the wires will be protected and the run them down the a piller . Make sure you use grommets to protect the wires from chaffing! You can check the bad pic in my album to see where i ran mine in.
