Can't see Emanage wires

I have my emanage harness hooked up and i have the hole drilled. I ran the wires through the hole and the firewall hole that i made. I even took out my glove box, and i can't see the wires at all from inside the car. Whats the trick on easily getting the wires thru so i can connect it to the emanage inside the glove box?

See the wires? You won't be able to SEE them!
It's all by feel. Cut a 3 inch slit thru the rubber film, right next to the white plastic bracket with the nut on it. Next, reach in there with your hand and search for them. Takes awhile.

OH!!! I was trying to think how the hell do you find the wires through that rubber! Its harder for me, since I'm not running the emanage through there. Just wires/hoses for the boost controller, and gauges. I'll try again tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to find them since its much smaller than that big **** emanage wire harness.

I used a wire clothes hanger for the smaller ones. Run it through then tape the wires onto the end. Then pull through.

Yeah, I thought of clothes hanger when I was at work today. It worked pretty good. Great minds think a like! Thanks for helping out guys. Install is done, gauges are hooked up, as well as boost controller. Just gotta wait for the interceptor to arrive in a few days, and I'll be one turbo charged fool!

Best way is to use 1/2" hard polypropylene tubing.
Poke it through the hole and then feed the wires in. Then, you can pull the tube out and the wires will follow without all the stress of pulling which can damage the connectors or the wire itself.
