A track assembly for a sliding vehicle door is provided, which includes a wire track extending between a track mount assembly attached to the vehicle sliding door and a body mount component attached to vehicle body structure. The wire track comprises a plurality of interconnected links allowing the wire track to articulate in a wire track articulation plane between door closed and door open positions. A wiring harness extends through the wire track. An elastomeric grommet extends from the track mount assembly and surrounds the wiring harness while permitting the wiring harness to twist and bend inside the grommet as the wire track articulates. A roller track is mounted to the vehicle body structure. The body mount component of the wire track is mounted below the roller track such that the wire track articulation plane is disposed below a lower wall of the wire track.
