Roof Rack Wire Connections

[ERover82]

Trying to get my roof rack driving lights, work lights, and reverse lights wired up. They need to be on connectors since I'll occasionally remove the rack. I've seen both through hole (deck plug) connectors, and wires run through rubber rail hole plugs and then into waterproof connectors. What do you guys suggest?

I used waterproof 2 wire connectors, 1 front, 1rear. Got them at advance auto.

A great suggestion; I'd probably mount it on the rear pillar facing aft instead of the roof.

I love Weatherpack connectors.

Here's a great place to pick up an entire kit, as well as a crimping tool:

I ran my wiring behind the A pillar trim and used a flat four connector that tucks in the gutter.

D1 A pillars are solid metal.

I'm leaning towards the simple, cheap, and easily available trailer power connectors at this point.

The weather pack connectors are nice, but I just don't see enough of an advantaged besides a few less butt connectors.

Put the plug at the bottom of the a pillar and run the line underneath the rubber weather stripping.

If you use a trailer 4 flat just buy an extension it will give you the male and female
