I have to wire up my rear screen heater and a high level brake light.

The car is a hardtop (fixed) with no inner lining (flocked, mmmm nice).

I can run the wires around the edge of the screen and if I use black flex they shouldn't be too obtrusive but does anyone know of any tubing I could run it through?

Secondly, any suggestions as to how I might fix the wire? It'll have to be either to the screen rubber and/or flock.

Don't know your exact set-up, but any chance you could just run the wires behind the screen rubber? Many screen rubbers should be able to accommodate a small wire or two OK (you could run one heater and one light wire to the left and one to the right) which would both hide and fix them very neatly.

That's a possibility too. I really need to get in there and have a good prod around.

Can't get motivated at the moment. Too cold outside and I can't get my car into the garage.

If Its too cold to sort out properly at present why not run a couple of strands of Christamas lights inside each side of the car and wrap your wires around these?

Should hide the wires till twelth night at least

I really like that idea! Made me laugh my bum off.
