I gave the HIN and info to GW and have left serval messages. No help for over a month. They did help on another issue, which was nice. Although I can't seem to get a response if wiring is running through the hardtop pipes. Does anyone have more infor?

Thanks

I can't say for 100%, but... I'd find it hard to believe that wires are running in that spot since it doesn't appear there would be an accessory directly below it where it would make sense for wires to come up that way to the hardtop. BUT, if you can gain access (visually see... or a cheap snake camera) -- either through an e-box or by removing an item from the hardtop -- to the backside of the tube where it attaches to the hardtop you should see if wires come out from there.

Some of the items on the hardtop are probably due for re-sealing, anyways, right? :)

I have a 2002 330 my wiring runs thru the tube to the right of the electronics hatch inside the windshield and the rear port side support leg. There's a wiring harness connector for the hard top fuse panel below that tube.

I have an '04 and I've gone pretty nuts modifying and upgrading. I've also poured over the owners manual which has wiring schematics and layout of chases- I don't think anything runs through the front pipes. I've seen the aforementioned wires that run through the single pipe next to helm pod and also the starboard rear leg of the hard top.
