I have my detector mounted in the upper left window:



Currently, I have the wire taped-down with electrical tape between the window seal and the frame; definitely not my best work, but the tape actually blends in well - barely visible. Trying to come up with a better application.

Bigger challenge is feeding the wire from the window to below the dash:



The crevices where the side of the dash meets the frame are extremely tight and I'm having a hard time keeping the wire in place. I'm going to see if I can figure out how to feed it alongside the left dashboard air vent to get it under the dash vs. how it is now; needless to say, I want to avoid drilling holes. Open to any recommendations on how to better run the wiring.

Hope this helps!
