    I have an ARE shell with headliner. What are people using to run / hide wires on the inside of the shell? I was considering using loom wrapped with Velcro to stick to the headliner. But that's going to look like crap. The shell is not sufficiently thick to use a p-clamp and a screw. I'm not certain how to hide wires.

    Couple of options:
    - The adhesive used to secure the headliner to the shell is not the greatest. Give it a little tug and see if you can easily separate it, run your wires behind and re adhere it.
    - If it doesn't want to separate, see if you can color/texture match the carpet they used. I found this stuff on Home Depot that is a very close match to Snugtop headliner https://www.homedepot.com/p/Traffic...r-Outdoor-6-ft-Carpet-7DD4N470072FT/206535308
    You can cut strips to go over the wiring and glue strips of velcro to the backing so it sticks to the original headliner. It's not perfect, but it wont be very noticeable and is less likely to get tugged down than loom.
