headliner-fishing

I'm going to replace the dome light wiring in my 70 Challenger however; my headliner is already installed. Can anyone suggest an easy way to fish the new wiring through without undoing or minimally undoing the headliner?

Thanks!

Pull the cover off and get to the wiring underneath. Then you can tie or splice the new wire in from that side and gently use it to pull your new wire in place. I used butt connectors in mine and slow worked it through the headliner.

Why are you replacing the dome light wiring? If the wiring was installed properly, the wires will be held in place by the flexible wire holders along the roof bow that the light housing screws into. The wiring may not come out easily. Also if the wiring is not held in place it will be touching your headliner and you will most likely see it. Unless you have a one piece hard headliner not a 4 or 5 bow material headliner.
