I pulled out the trunk latch and drilled a hole in it's plastic housing for the wire then snapped it back in place. I like the idea of the hole in this latch which could easily be replaced rather than the trunk.
Sounds good, Jim. I drilled a hole in the right license plate pop out unit right next to the slot for a screw driver to remove it (see photo above). was very easy to do.. popped it out, removed the connector, took it over to the bench and drilled the hole, then popped it back in place and fed the cable through it. I didn't drill any holes through the sheet metal.
