ABSTRACT:
A wire harness protector having a hinged guide for controlling movement of the wire harness adjacent the protector. The protector is an open-ended trough with a hinged, latchable cover and fasteners for securing the trough to a moving surface, such as a vehicle trunk lid. The guide is hinged to an end of the trough, with a free end enabling it to swing relative to the trough. A central slot extends along a length of the guide, sized to receive a standard clip head strapped to the wire harness in a fixed position on the harness. When the surface to which the trough is secured moves, the wire harness slides relative to the trough. The clip head travels along the slot and the guide pivots relative to the end of the trough, controlling both sliding and bending movement of the wire harness.
