Abstract

A plug for enclosing an opening within a wall of a hollow pillar and securing a wire harness running within the pillar. Included are at least two locks that resiliently engage the edge of the opening in order to secure the plug within the opening and align the plug within the opening along a first axis. Also included are at least two tensioners that resiliently engage the edge of the opening and align the plug within the opening along a second axis. At least one stabilizer then resiliently engages the wall, thereby exerting tension within the plug along a third axis.
