hi all I'm looking for a clip of some sort perhaps one that someone's made on a 3D printer or has found one that fits/clips onto the center windshield support in order to hold/contain wires. I run two fans mounted near the rear view mirror, that plug into the cigarette lighter and the wire runs up the center support of the windshield. I've use tape,velcro hot glue and all have failed in the heat of Summer. I was looking for some sort of clip as there is a edge on the center support that seems like a cover or small clip could latch onto. This would also be helpful for anybody that has a GPS or window mounted radar detector to contain or hide the wires.. Anybody come up with a solution? I know I could always hardwire the fans and run the wire someplace behind the top cap but I was looking for something a little more straightforward and less permanent

That center support is hollow. I have wires running through it.

I have two fans mounted on the mirror mount. Their wire runs inside the windshield center piece - it's hollow.

Walt Haley has a solid works file that makes nice clips if you want to go that way.

I know it’s a hollow response (pun intended), but I drilled a little hole and ran the wire in the windshield center support.

It’s, I dare say, hollow……..

Yes, on my coach, it has an antenna on the roof. I put another one up there
for serious radio. Ran both leads through the window channel.

Yes it does but there is room for more. I also had a CB antenna lead which is still there but no longer used. There is plenty of room for more wires.
