Dashcam cable

modulated · 06-24-2020, 05:08 PM

How? It’s damn tight. Is there a trick? All the videos say “just push it in”, but they never show anyone actually doing it. I got it in at the top of the windshield but the corner and the seam aren’t working; there’s no space and the plastic tool is starting to tear into the cable. Thanks for any tips. (For some reason the photo rotated counterclockwise when I uploaded it, sorry.)

pop out the a pillars a little bit, push in and then pop back in.

disclaimer - not my fault if it interferes with airbag.

Thanks, I should have said it’s an F83. No airbag in the A pillar.

Wait. Why are you running the cable through the top of an f83?
