Default running wires into the doors

does anyone have any special tricks, I can't seem to make it past the 90degree bend into the body...perhaps a coat hanger isn't the best tool, but it's all I have at the moment.
I have to run +- for my component speakers and +- for LED door handles.

Thanks ahead of time

They actually make a tool designed to thread wire through tight bends. The problem I always had with a coat hanger was that it tended to get caught on things. The Tool I ended up getting is made of nylon and both bends much easier, and is smoother which lets it slide through wiring holes much easier. I tried digging the tool out of my toolbox... but it's buried too deep under stuff.
