I installed the Vantrue in my truck. I mounted rear camera on rear window, so cable has some slack to allow for opening. When you operate top, can you see any wires hanging?

No wire hanging. You installed camera on rear window, that why.

Apologies Duke, I was running on three hours of sleep - I didn't read that this was for the convertible, as mine is the coupe.

Can you share where/how you hardwired the vantrue n4? Would love to do the install myself if it's simple enough to find somewhere to tap into. @tofuprod
