Tip: when you feed your cam cable through the rubber conduit between trunk lid and body, put a few drops of silicone lube down the conduit and on whatever you are going to use to fish a string through. I used a piece of rebar tie wire, but a coat hanger will work.

Lube the fish wire with silicone and thread the string through. Then bend your cable and tape a loop. Tape over the connector too. You don't want to pull the connector through first. Tie your string through the loop and then pull/work the cable through. It goes MUCH easier with lube.

I ran my cam cable without lube, then decided to run my SiriusXM antenna cable through too. That's when I decided to lube the cable. The antenna cable also has a connector on it. The second cable went through much easier than the first and I did it in 1/4 of the time.
