    Roof top wiring: Where and how to route inside?

    G'Day fellas;
    I fitted a Rhino rack to my 2.2 110, and have left side flood lights, will fit an LED Light Force light bar and possibly a solar panel.
    I will also route a reverse camera to a bracket on the Center rear of the rack.
    All is to be wired into my ancillary battery, housed in the left rear of the vehicle, isolation and on/off switches in the dash.
    How have people routed their roof top wiring inside their vehicle? Neatest, watertight options are sought, and photos would be great.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ken

    Not a LR but i have a nissan patrol and ran the wires from the engine bay up threw a space in the panels next to the windscreen inside some black split loom. Up along the snorkel and tucked out of view and then along the rain gutter to the first leg of the roof rack, then Along the roof rack to the rear.

    Up LHR behind trim and then get a nice Mil-Plug or grommet

    Found this thread at Defender.net

    G'Day fellas;
    Thanks for the suggestions, but I found this thread at Defender.net.
    DEFENDER2.NET - View topic - Corris 110....
    It's a great build and loads of tips, so might explore this wiring option.
    Thanks again.

    Just some more info...

    When I install roof mounted solar panels, I mount an anderson plug to the rear vertical panel of the roof, use a automotive grade body sealant and run the cable down the inside behind all the interior trim, the solar charge/regulator I generally mount under the rear passenger seats as there is plenty of room, see attached pic.

    In my build thread, you can see how I ran my cabling out. I enlarged a hole above the rear passenger door, allowing the cable to run behind the rubber seal.
    It's on page one, link in my signature.
