Routing your Edge Lightbar Cable(s)

1.

To  protect  the  headliner  from  damage  caused  by  drilling  the  cable  access
hole  through  the  vehicle  roof,  allow  a  5”  to  7”  distance  between  roof  and
headliner by lowering the headliner before drilling.

2.

Using a 1” hole saw, drill the cable access hole.

NOTE:

There may be a roof support member that spans the distance between the

driver’s and passenger’s side. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH THIS MEMBER! Adjust
the location until the hole can be drilled without contacting this support member.

3.

Use a round file to smooth and de-burr the edges of the hole.

4.

Insert a 1” grommet (user supplied) into the cable access hole.

5.

Insert the cable(s) through the cable access hole into the vehicle. Use RTV
silicone  to  weatherproof  the  access  hole  after  the  cable(s)  are  pulled
completely into the vehicle.

6.

Route the cable(s) down through the B-pillar. The cable(s) must make a 90°
turn to enter the B-pillar. Although routing the cable in this manner may be
difficult,  this  has  been  determined  to  be  the  best  procedure.  It  is  up  to  the
installation  technicians  discretion  whether  to  route  the  cable(s)  as
recommended or use an alternative route. Pull the full length of the cable(s)
out  of  the  hole  at  the  base  of  the  B-pillar  (Fig.  1)  and  route  towards  your
switch panel. Refer to the instructions included with your switches for switch
wiring information.

NOTE: The outer surfaces of this product may be cleaned with mild soap 
and water. Use of any other chemicals may void product warranty. Do not 
use a pressure washer.
