    What is the purpose of the top A pillar strap? Which years was it applied?

    I wonder what the purpose is of the strap at the top of the A pillar. Which wiring or tube should it hold?
    Which years was this applied?

    On a later car it's to clamp the power window harness. Can't envision how that would clamp the antenna lead since that would enter the car down by the kick panel.

    Thanks for the replies.

    I had also only seen antenna wiring going directly into the cabine via the lower hole in front of the A pillar and next to the fender joining panel.

    Sunroof drain tube? It was a tube which ran inside the A pillar. It's pathway was on or close to that shelf on the 65/66 cars.

    Don't have a sunroof car so can't go look.
