The screw driver will help you find it from the inside, because the grommet is behind a layer of insulation, so you will need to tear a small opening. I would highly recommend putting some sealant around the wires when you are done to avoid leaks.

There is another rubber grommet between the battery tray area and the interior of the front trunk, same process, but to see this grommet you will need to remove the spare tire and significant amount of the front trunk carpet. I don't remember the exactly location of the frunk grommet (there are a few of them), but I think it is behind where a CD changer would be installed.

Best of luck!
Thanks for the info!

Yeah, already figured on pulling the battery (maybe I can install the mystery vent tube upon reinstallation ... ) and seeing what I can find when the time comes.

Still, pictures that anyone has of their wiring would be most welcome!

Thanks - DM
