there's a hole in the side panel just behind the hood release lever.
just poke the cable from the new antenna down the door pillar and it
should emerge in the area of the hole. it'll be a bit fiddly without
using a cable pull, but it is do-able. you'll need a light & some
needle nose pliers. being a contortionist helps too.
