Default Door speaker wires

I am sure this is in here somewhere...but i cannot find it.

Trying to run new wires into the doors for my JBL components. Working on the passenger side now. I have my speaker wire through the boot between the door and the car body, but not sure how to get it to where i can reach. I am hoping i will be able to see the wire somewhere behind the glove box, but cannot get it.

Feels like there is some sorta sticky stuff sealing off a hole that the other wires are going though. I can just hardly touch this from the door side, and cannot find it from the glove box side.

Is there something i need to remove to make this easier? Or any suggestions on running the speaker wire into the car?

Thanks again.

As allways, love this place and all the help i get here.

Did you remove the kick panel? That covers everything up, including that hole. You can also use a wire fish (maybe a coat hanger, but I'd be careful with that). That's what I did and it worked out quite easily.

Oh crap.

No.

No more stupid questions from me. That was it.

I was trying to go through the glove box area.

I will add you to the list of people i need to buy drinks for someday.

Thanks.

if you use a coat hanger, bend the end you are pushing through to a tight "U" shape so you don't puncture anything -- also prob a good idea to tape the end of the coat hanger (at the end of the "U" so that when you pull it back you don't rip any other wires out as well ( don't ask how I know...=( )
