Are the wires not getting pinched under the windshield at all? I've seen some install videos of people doing that, and it looks super tight.
I imagine there is some pinching happening; but the control wire isn't that thick. And the instructions from VOSwitch specifically say to run it under the windshield. Who am I to argue?
I would have preferred the "firewall grommet" solution to avoid the pinching actually, but on the plus side I got to take the windshield down, which I may have otherwise never done....
Heh, I get you. That's the only part of the aux switch install I'm pretty nervous about. But, I got a tool specifically for running wires through thick rubber grommets, and a wife with tiny hands. I don't suppose I could be any more prepared than I am now - just gotta do itI imagine there is some pinching happening; but the control wire isn't that thick.

!My wife couldn't watch me do the install, but she did help hold the windshield. Taking the trim off the interior would have driven her nuts. And me. "Are you sure that's the way to do it?" "Are you going to leave any marks?" "Don't break anything." :D But all's well that ends well.Heh, I get you. That's the only part of the aux switch install I'm pretty nervous about.

For others: no need to drill through the plastic. If you push a wire or fish cable through it, it will be angled down behind the kick panel:I ran my voswitch wire into the cab threw another grommet. I did have to run a drill bit threw a plastic panel that was behind the grommet but I would rather do that than run the wire under the windshield, just did not like that idea. Pushed the grommet out slit the middle of it and pushed the wire threw it and reinstalled the grommet with some silicone over the wire to finish the seal. last picture is from inside where I had to drill.
It's how I routed mine - you just need to wiggle it around a little until it falls into a groove/channel where it's basically not really pinching at all. I was able to still tug on it with the windshield up and it was able to freely move/slide.
With install mine was going to be around $700 with the Mopar switches. I’m sure what route I’m going now. I just don’t have the money any other way.I did this install yesterday. Super simple. I also didn’t like the idea of running through the windshield but I folded it down and there is actually a ton of room. There is a small section where there is basically no weather seal next to the A-pillar and it fit perfect with no pinch.
I also added a ground buss bar. This is pretty much the only thing the kit doesn’t have.
I went back and forth on the Mopar switches or this. Glad I went thisroute and saved 200ish bucks.
Wouldn’t it leak water if place thru window?
