How to hide wire to trunk?

How do you guys hide your wire to the trunk?

I'm trying to run the wires along the side, under the door sill made of plastic. There are a few places where I can't seem to pry the plastic sill up to slide the wire underneath though.

I ran mine all under the carpet...but i took my whole car apart when i did the install.

You should be able to get under that lip though on your side rails...if not you may have to take out your back panel so you can pry them up more...at least that is how it is on my car....a 7th gener will be able to clear it up a bit more for ya though.

its possible to get teh wire under there without janking the panels, but its hard.

you dont need to remove the rear sidepanel, but it helps to take off the seatbelf mounting bracket, makes laying the cable MUCH easier

Do this on the passenger side, I had problems trying to move the driver's side where the gas/trunk lever is. I took out the seatbelt bracket (the bolt is like 7feet long [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] ) The other part just pulled up, you have to pull really hard.
