How hard is running a cable into the upper tailgate?

Hi team,

I need to run a cable into the upper tailgate to fit my rear dashcam.

I think there are two gaiters / bellows which I'll need to get it through but any tips on how to get the trim off either side would be greatly appreciated.

. Cheers, Greg

stick the dashcam on the tailgate glass and then tuck the cable into the tailgate trim...leave a bit extra loose so when you open the tailgate it wont stretch... ... - .- -.

The easiest way would be to pull out the upper end of the gaiter from the body , feed the cable through from the open end down into the tailgate, poke a length of cable into the space above the roof headlining and the refit the gaiter. The gaiter fits just like a grommet. You can then fish for the length of cable you poked into the headlining with a length of wire or similar with with the end formed into a hook. Simples Thumbs Up

stan: yes your technique is good to tuck it in. But I need to get it from the hinged door, through the gaiter (like the other cables) and into the main car body. Do you have a rear cam? If so how do you get your cable to cross the hinged door to the fixed main body?

nicedayforit: great idea ill try that.
