Mark9998,
When you started your project, did the auto body shop give you a bottle of the color (tint) to add to your bottles after you added the hardner? Or did they add color to all of your Upol bottles while you were there?

Since the factory wiring harness/loom runs under the carpet at the rear door's I didnt want them exposed to where they could get damaged over time, especially since I have little kids getting in/out of the back all the time, and there is a loom on both the passenger and driver sides. Also I didn't like how they looked exposed in the back once the carpet is out.
Since the harness is hidden under the floor trim in the front, I chose to run it up the B pillar and then just hide it behind the fabric that is wrapped around the rollcage. This is pretty simple since the fabric zips off.
Since the factory loom is not long enough to just simply re-route I had to extend them each about 3-5'. I used 18awg wire with multiple conductors (7 & 10) and had to run a couple lengths of this to reconnect all the wires. I also had to extend the wind-shield wiper fluid line on the driver side since I run the hardtop in the winter.

I'm planning on doing this soon. Would you still recommend this method? Would you do anything different? I see 3 or 4 different gauge wires in the bundle. Did using 18awg for all the wires turn out to work OK? It must have taken a long time as I'm counting 18-19 total wires in each bundle. Appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thx

I know this is a bit of an old thread....
Did you remove the calking at the seems? I'm not talking about the sound deadening stuff. If you left it in (it appears you did), did you spray it with an adhesion promoter like Grip #4?
About how much wire did you need to re-route the looms through the roll bar? I cant seem to find a good write up on how others do it. I'm thinking its going to be self explanatory when I start pulling everything but I like to be prepared as much as possible before I get into all of it.
