How the heck to open this wire chase

[TMGladOverHighAlt]

I really don’t want to break all these clips off there must be about 20 of them going across the top of there.
Any quick suggestions on how to get this little bugger open?

Well, THAT was fun. ?
I got it. Small flathead and push in the top opening, lift on the plastic insert piece, pops open.

I have a small bent screwdriver for that. I love the idea of it, I hate how hard it is to get into it.

Cool! Now come over and do mine so I can bury my snow plow wiring inside that chase!
I'll furnish the beer (but only AFTER you are done)

You might be surprised to know how little room is actually in there! I ran 12/2 marine grade duplex wire sheathed and I’m not sure if it would fit more than one more. It’s kinda full of tiny wires that are only in a sheath where you see the wires go in. Pretty scary to see an explosion of tiny wires just jammed behind that cover! If you ever pull cable through there, be careful.

Wow, thanks for the heads-up. I think I'll leave well-enough alone!

Yeah that looks pretty clean as is. Plus, I *think* you'd have to run the cable all the way past the battery and then back to where you have it connected currently. It's been a minute since I did it on my jeep, but I know I ran mine all the way out.

I went ahead and came out the down-turn route and it drops the cable RIGHT next to the right (facing windshield) of the distribution fuse box. Which puts it right where you need it to if you want to connect to the pos/neg battery terminals.
