Complete vehicle harness, except engine. Rodent damage on a new 760i. Bags are full of the wiring/connectors that get pulled through firewall/trunk/rear openings to prevent damage.

I doubt this product is installable with an already-installed electrical harness, but Techflex makes rodent-resistant sleeving. It's probably coated with a chemical the animals don't care for.

Honda has a tape like that that is rodent resistant. It contains capsaicin.

Oh yeah. Good call. I've seen that before too.
