WIRE HARNESS ASSEMBLY ON TRIM PANEL

摘要

In a method for assembling electrical wires to a trim panel of a vehicle structural member, including forming a trim panel (14) having an outer surface (24) adapted to overlie an inner surface (17) of a vehicle structural member (16) and positioning at least one electrical device in the trim panel (14). There is now provided routing means (34, 42, 46) on the outer surface of the trim panel individually and sequentially positioning of a plurality of electrical wires (30) along the routing means to the electrical device and securing each of the electrical wires to the trim panel with a portion (38, 44, 48, 50) of the routing means to protect the wires from abrasion damage and causing rattling noises and to eliminate the need for a prefabricated wiring harness.
