He's referring to sliding the wires down the original path like the window/speaker/lock wiring. Having them point down before going up gives water a path to run down and drip off before the wires enter the cabin bringing the water with it. Running them like in the quoted picture lets the water slide right down the wire into the cabin.

This is how I did mine:
