Pulling the Antenna Wire

Another wiring challenge was finding a good spot for the XM antenna. It needs to be somewhere unobstructed so you get clear reception, so the roof is an obvious choice. I wanted to use my third brake light as the "point of entry" for the antenna wire. Pulling the wire through the rubber cable boot between the rear hatch and the body was tough. But my trusty wire hanger and a liberal glob of Vaseline helped me pull it through with no problems. Once inside the cabin, I routed the wire through the left rear quarter panel, down by the driver's side rear door, and under the driver's seat. This was easily done since all of the interior trim panels were already removed for my vinyl floor project.
