Abstract

An apparatus for housing electrical wiring extending between a vehicle door and a vehicle body. A first link is pivotally connected to the vehicle door and the vehicle body for pivoting the door away from the vehicle body. A second link is pivotally connected to the vehicle door and the vehicle body rearward of the first link along the length of the vehicle. The second link cooperates with the first link to pivot the vehicle door away from the vehicle body. The second link includes a pivotal support frame, a conduit section, and a clamping member for removably clamping the pivotal support frame and the conduit section together to enable the conduit section to be detached from the pivotal support frame. When clamped, the pivotal support frame and the conduit section define a conduit therebetween. Electrical wiring extends within the conduit for providing electrical wiring between the vehicle door and the vehicle body. Grommets are affixed at opposite ends of the wiring to secure each end of the wiring to the vehicle door and to the vehicle body, respectively.
