How do you run wire to rear of vehicle?

This is one concept that I can never figure out. How does one run wires from the front, to the rear of their vehicle so they cant be seen? I want to run better wires for my rear speakers, as well as ones for rear view camera.

I'm driving a 92 Maxima SE

1. Get a flathead screwdriver.
2. Carefully pry up the door trim.
3. Run wires so they aren't pinched.
4. Put it all back together.

Though I've NEVER found a need for a screwdriver when popping door jamb trim panels.

3rd gen is easy. just remove a 10 mm bolt (iirc, been awhile since i tinkered with my old 3rd gen) and take the kick panels out. then just remove those 4 plastic screw/tab thingies on each door sill and they will pop off. then simply run the wire under the carpet, into the rear.

So, you've never used a flathead screwdriver to pry up the door trim on ANY car... You guys must have fingers of steel or something!

There's a tool at pep boys that does this all for you. I believe its called and panel puller. It'll also prevent you from braking or scratching the plastic. It makes it fast and easy. Only some one with tiny fingers or killer finger nails wouldn't need any tools.
