I'm putting power locks in a base model car. There isn't a flexible conduit from the frame to the door to run wires through. I would like to pick up the stock ones that came with this model car. But I have no idea what to call these things. It's hard to find a part you can't reference.
Any suggestions where to buy?
The car: 2002 Chevy Cavalier

Door tubes, go to a wreckers yard.

Door tubes. Hmmm... sounds plausible.

Sounds like a line from "Come Together" by the Fab Four.

Very funny, thus I concede. (Yes I'm aware of the yiddish for fairy).

Other names:-
Germany (literal translation) tubes as means of passing cables from car to door with sealing grommets either end.
Italy, don't bother everything will be rotten and corroded in 2 years.
France, don't bother all the electrics will fail, Peugeot alternative, let's design it so it cuts the cables after a couple of years.*
UK (Rover/BL dog days, early 70s) We can't afford it.
*Honestly true.
