Default Radar Detector wire

I am trying to run the wire from my radar detector up the A-Pillar on the passenger side and across the windshield above the mirror. Any tips on hiding the wire? I thought I could squeeze it in between the headliner and windshield gasket, but couldn't get it in there...or do I need to "try harder"?

Thanks in advance.

Try harder. Use a trim tool. That is where mine is tucked away. The wire pops out just by the mirror. Very neat and tidy.

I'm awaiting my trim tool to show up today...I couldn't find mine last weekend. Looks like you simply pull the rubber down and the wire tucks into it. Do you need to pull the hard plastic off the A-pillar to route that behind? If so, any tips for pulling that off?

Thanks again!

No need to pull back the seal. Just wedge the wire between it and the glass. It will disappear.
