Just try running it as near the edges as possible.

Don't you have a floor mat to cover up the carpet???

Yea why don't u run and hide the wire under the side railing or panel? Really easy to pop off and it does the job! Just be careful of not snapping the plugs when your pulling them out

I have a pry tool that I use, but you can use a flat head and work the sill from the outside of the door. There should be a gap unser the plastic sill. You can stuff a two guage wire in there.

Hey Will...if you're ever bored and have some $$$ laying around, you can bag yourself some flat 4 gauge wire and see if that helps with the problem of the bulge. If of course you don't already have that run and I just wasted my time by writing this post.

you should be able to use the sill and then the piller between the doors and rear pillar, then rear sill and around the back seat, usually if you pull the corner of the rear seat up you can slide the wires through if the seats dont fold forward
