Not sure it's possible.

My rear camera feed is run along the recess in the profile and stuck on with strips of black duck tape. RRS gone

The only way to run the cable is around the upper tailgate and then put a small hole in the rubber. It is a real fiddly job to get right as you also need to have the lower tailgate up at the same time (bit not too much) I use a piece of paracord to stop the upper tailgate going up too much.

I also don't try feeding the av phono plug through that hole as I use some custom wiring to keep all the cables in one thin cable instead of power and video seperately. Then connect them in the tailgate housing. You need to drill a small hole through the tailgate handle (or a big hole if you keep the phono connector on!) Bodsys Brake Bible
