Default Installing dashcam, rear camera

I am trying to find the best way to route a wire from the cabin to the trunk without destroying the delicate felt pieces. Has someone done this? I cannot find a YT video. I'd like to use someone's experience on this.

You should be able to run under the front and rear door sills (you can pull them up or just slide the wire under), up the weatherstripping for the rear door, and behind the rear seat. If you shine a light from the trunk into the area of where the rear seat seat belt comes from, you should see an opening. It's like this from both sides, there's an existing wire loom that passes to the trunk.

However, of you want to get to the trunk door, I'd suggest the right hand side, since that's where the existing wire loom to the outside plate lights and camera are routed.

I went across the headliner to the A-pillar, then down the side of the car headliner, then across to the back glass for my dash cam
