If you look in engine bay there's grommets leading to behind glovey and near pedals, as said above power  on one side, all trim pops off and rear arch trim has a cap you screw off.

Just realised I have already posted up on MKIVs.  Not sure if posting links is against the rules.  If so, I apologise, but just trying to help.
