The wire for the high mounted brake light come up the left luggage hinge and inside the nylon sheath.

Thanks for the pics...

So if I see correctly, from this point (red arrow), the wire just hangs down?

Thanks for the pics Bob... I know how the third brake light wire is routed, what I'm trying to understand is how Habious routed his antenna wire...???
It seems to hang from the red arrow to the trunk...

Yes...when the trunk lid is up (backwards), the wire is tight (ish).

When the top goes down, the wire is somewhat loose.

The trick is to get the wire positioned so that when the lid closes, it doesn't pinch the wire in the hinge mechanism.

Great. Thanks for the info... I'm planning to install a backup camera on the trunk lid, between the spoiler and the L badge. I was wondering how to route the wires... Thanks again for your help!
