QuestionI am attempting to install an aftermarket backup camera. It is designed to fit into license plate holder. I need to run a camera power wire through the rear hatch, up and around rear window, out through flex cover, around the left side of hatch opening (interior) and into backup light area of left lens. I need instructions as to the removal of interior deck hatch trim and the trim around left side of rear hatch (to access wiring harness of left light assemble cables). Can you help, Sir?
