hello!

as the title suggests, i want to retrofit the rain sensor on my front windshield.

the good part is that i have the windshield for the rain sensor, i bought the rain sensor itself, ive also bought an auto dimming rear view mirror, and wires that have the right connections for either of these two. my yeti also has a highline comfort block, so im sorted on this end. 

 

now for the scary part:

how would i go about putting the wires along the top of the windshield and above the headliner?

are there some kind of wiring manuals, or something that could tell me? i saw the post that talks about retrofitting the tai. sensor on either the passat or jetta, i dont remember, but both of those have a much thicker headliner... maybe someone has a yeti with the rain sensor and would be nice to send me a pic? like the ones i attached below.

 thanks a bunch, i am planning on making a video on this, if anyone would be interested about this retrofit, i would be more than happy to post it here (if allowed)

 

thanks abunch!

in case anyone asks, here are the parts i bought (the part # have nothing to do with part numbers) 

the rain sensor has its own wire that helps me a bunch, the mirror has almost all plastic pieces that i would need, and the long wire on the bottom is for the auto dimming mirror

This windscreen isn't suitable for the sensor. It needs to be replaced.
