I was easily able to close the door securely with the cord running through it. Will doing this long term be bad for the rubber door seal?

Thanks for the info!
Just keep in mind that your car typically runs off of a battery and its generator. These sources provide a nice clean DC power to your highly sophisticated vehicle.

Now, be careful with some battery chargers as they may not be as clean as you might expect when converting your house power AC 110v (for example) to your car's 12 volt DC.

So, don't go cheap in this area.
