The Problem...
Currently there are few solutions allow cables and wires to pass through barriers in the automotive industry that not only keep out the elements but also look good. NOVA solves this problem by using a combination of engineering to meet the need and style to please the eye.
Current Solutions
Currently most solutions are to drill a hole through the panel and silicone the hole to seal it back up. Over a short period of time the seal cracks due to sun and weather allowing elements to begin to creep into the cab. Side effects can cause rust to form between the paint and metal as well as damaging interior panels.
Cord grips and plastic cable junction boxes are also used. Cord grips generally only allow one cable or wire to be used at a time. Junction boxes are not designed for moving vehicles and just don’t look good. They also still need to use an assortment of cord grips to function properly.
What is NOVA?
NOVA is a simple effective product that allows cables and wires to be passed through a barrier while protecting them chafing, cutting, or other damage while sealing the environment of one side from the other.
The Difference of NOVA
When holes are cut in metal it leaves sharp edges that can cut and damage cables or wires. The NOVA provides a smooth surface with soft edges that acts as a grommet for the cables, wires, or other accessories that pass through the NOVA.

“Base and Cap” design. This type of design allows a base be permanently mounted to the surface while the cap can be removed or partly removed to change the configuration of wiring or elements passing through the NOVA.

The ultra-low-profile design allows NOVA to be placed in areas where space is a premium. The exterior profile was specifically designed to fit under and work with most roof racks available on the market today. This design feature also allows NOVA to be mounted in such a way to not interfere with vehicle interior headliners.

Future Flexibility
When accessories change NOVA will meet the needs of any new setup. Going from a single radio antenna to a roof rack with a light bar and multiple scene lights has never been easier. Remove the four screws holding the cap on, slip your new wires through the NOVA, and reseal the cap, that's it! Wiring with the NOVA is made that much simpler.

NOVA is designed for functionality. That doesn't mean that it can't look good. We gave NOVA a distinct style to purposely disappear into the body lines of the vehicles that it gets installed on. Why? This is because when you buy a CopperStar product you know that every detail about how that product works and functions has been thought through to every last detail including how it will look on your vehicle.
