Run wires from roof - 97 Terrano/Pathfinder

I want to install two 20" light bars on either side of my 97 Terrano/Pathfinder for convenience lighting while camping. I don't want to drill holes in the roof or a pillar, so I was thinking of just running the wires down the side of the windscreen into the engine bay and using a length of cheap rubber floor wire concealer from Temu to hide them, e.g. https://www.temu.com/goods.html?goods_id=601099569483851
I know there is a proper product for that but it costs a bomb. Before I go ahead, I was wondering if the existing moulding that runs down the edge of the windscreen against the A pillar is removeable and wires possibly hidden beneath it (see yellow highlight in attached photo). It seems as if it could be pried off. Cheers!

I eventually went ahead and ran the wires from the engine bay up the A pillar through some rubber floor conduit I found on Temu. It's self-adhesive and stuck to the moulding next to the windshield. After a couple of months out in the weather, it is showing no signs of unsticking. I bought another length as backup in case it does eventually fail.
