T-top owners step inside!

My buddy is just finishing up his resto on his 86 T-type. My question is, how does the wiring for the rear quarter interior lights and rear defrost run from the side of the a piller to the rear of the car. He doesn't remember if it runs down the front of the windshield and then down the center of the t-top frame underneath the plastic trim. I do see there is some holes the wiring could run through but im not sure. Ive tried finding some pics. of the wire routing but have come up with nothing.

Anyone have some pics with the plastic trim removed to see the wiring??
Thanks in advance.

I believe that wiring runs up the driver's side a-pillar towards the center of the roof and then to the back of the car

up the a pillar, down the center beem (which is covered up by the interior plastic panel) and it is taped to the roof. Then the orange and white wires which power the dome lights splt and go two directions. one set heads over to the left side of the car and the other to the right. The defroster wire also follow this path.
