Wires through door

So I would like to run two wires from the inside of the car to the door. I want it to be clean looking so I would like to run the wires in the oem door harness. As I looked thought, the connection on the door is a clip. I thought it would just be wires in a wire loom(rubber cover in door gap). How can I make a clean connection between the two?

It has to be a clip for when you remove/install the doors. I'd pierce it and pull the wires through with a thin steel rod. I'll have to look into it myself later today, I haven't taken my doors apart in awhile.

Correct me if im wrong
The problem is that the only connection between the door and the frame is a plug, instead of a hole leaving space to run your axillary wire.

When i ran extra wires for my folding mirrors, i removed the boot over the wire harness plug and put the wire through one of the holes that the boot clips into. Then you can route the wire through the rubber loom and into your door panel.
hope this helps.

Ok i get you. So basically the wire will be exposed for like a half an inch. From the little hole until it goes in to rubber boot. Did you take the door off?
