Thanks for the help unforuntately mine has no electrics as its a manual sunroof and no check control panel so i need to run the wires completly i know i have a live of the analogue clock as spare as i put a digi one in mine so i will have to run the wires from scratch.

There's a 12V permanent live at the interior lights in the roof.
Pull one of the lights out, push a piece of slightly stiff wire forwards, and hook it out of the roof winder hole with a bent coathanger.
All the roof mechanism is enclosed, so the wire won't get caught up.
