Default Running cable from glovebox to engine bay

I need to run a cable from the glove box to the engine bay. I know how to remove the glovebox and get access to the that area, but I cannot seem to find any routes to push a thin cable through to the engine bay.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Best place to run a wire through the firewall is on the driver side, you can fit a wire through where the main wire harness goes...
