Pull up back seats, feed down side of car under the black strip, if you dont know what I mean when I go home il get some pics.

Will always love my mk4 but she had to go...225 Quattro TT in its place....but its still black (she lives on in spirit!)

mk4s are probably different though because the writer of the above post was having problems too. try PMing him to see if he managed to sort it out?

there must be a way without drilling according to my above link and i would avoid drilling at all costs. but thats just me. its entirely up to you.

hi guys

The substantional gromit can be taken out if you put your hand up behind the glovebox and to the left you can feel it and you can see it move on the other side of someone looks so i can now have very tidy wiring :grin: thanks to Ashmond and tommy3kab for there help  :wink:

glad you got it sorted without drilling, its always a bad idea to start taking paint off in any way, even if it is only just a small hole, rust doesnt mind! in my experience i have found nothing that can compare to the manufacture paint, they make a good job of it, ive seen supposedly 'pro' respray jobs fall apart after a very short time.
