Run wires with
washer hose. Left side is better for me.
|
|

|
Unplug hose and
slide off grommet to run wires. It's on tight, but it will go.
|
|
|
|
Feed wires through
holes. Run wires through rubber connector.

Use BMW wire
pulling tool. Actually, it's a wire hanger.

Pull wires through
one at a time. Be patient and work it through.

Remove one screw
and unsnap left side rear trim. Feed wires through hole in pad.
