Looking to put some lights on the from roof rack on my 96 lab and I'm after some ideas on how to get the wiring to the roof. I don't really want to drill any holes and looking at it I can't think of a way to get wiring up there. Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated

There's not really a clean way without drilling a hole somewhere.

no holes required.
peel back the rubber molding that runs along the pinch weld on the roof & run it up from the engine bay & up the A pillar.... same goes with the rear, remove the plastic trim on the D pillar & run it in the rubber molding.
would be pics in my build thread, but they is borked.

I drilled halfway through the rubber trim in about 4 spots and ran cable ties through it to hold the wiring for the light bar as it was too thick to hide underneath, work pretty well.
