How to remove the roof liner ... ?

[emax]

Has anybody yet removed and successfully re-installed the roof liner, or does perhaps knows how to do it?

I want to run my dashcam cable from the back door to the front behind the roof liner because I will not have to buy and use an extension cable. To run it along the door sills requires more bends and has more sources of error for bruising and damage to the (sensitive) coax cable.

There is someone on here who stripped out the whole interior for sound proofing. I think someone on the rear view mirror threads, used an electricians fibre rod to push the wire through the liner in the way you are hoping to do. I think they ran the wire from the overhead electrical panel to the back door.

Thanks a lot.


I'll try to find this.

@emax - I plan to do this as well. I will also tap power for the dash cam from the roof switch panel. The only difficulty I see routing the cable down the right rear trim panel in the cargo area - necessary to route the cable inside the rear door.

That's what I will not do as the Viofo cable is too short for this solution.

I think it should be possible to put the rear view camera on the larger door window and route the cable directly to the body. Near the door hinge is has to have kind of a loop or a free "hanging" part which could be protected by a cable - spiral (don't know the English word, see picture).
