Installed a Dash Cam, but had the power cable dangling straight down to the cigarette lighter since there was no way that the cable could be shoved in the upper windshield gasket. I had bought a 3D printer a couple of months ago and thought this would be a great exercise in making something! I remind you that I have no design or 3D experience at all. I used tinkercad.com and designed a clip that could slip in behind the gasket and hold the cable. I then routed the cable down the passenger A-pillar and under the glove box to the cigarette lighter. Now I have a very clean install!!

These worked like a charm! No more hanging wires from the dash & backup cameras. Thanks Ted!
