Wire Loom in door for Power Windows
Hello, me again. So I have power windows and I was wondering what you all did to feed a loom through door opening at the hinges. Does it bind up when door opens and closes or should I use some type of door contactor? ALso, my body is at the paint shop and pretty much done. I have the rolling chassis now. I am thinking of pre wiring the power window motor for each door since the body is not on. Oh and I am using door poppers with no exterior door handles. So there will be a need to get power to the doors. What did you all use? Thank you

I used a door wiring loom conduit kit from Speedway Motors except I swapped the braided tubing for a thinner plastic tube to give it a little more flexibility. Worked great, of course I'm only running speaker wires into my door so I'm not sure how it would work on more than a couple wires.

Jim,
So am I right that the tubing is allowed to freely slide in the plastic-lined "eyelet" pieces? "Out of" the door when it's opened "into" the door when it's closed?
I 'm asking because I'm guessing that means one needs to leave some slack in the wiring inside the door for flex/strain relief reasons...

Hey Earl,
Yes, the tubing slides freely in the eyelet pieces as you described. Some slack in the wiring is definitely needed.
