    The black piece lying across the middle of the seat back is what you'd have to fish through. It's not that long, but a cable might jam at the corner, or would it even fit through the grill? Also, the state of disassemble you see there took me maybe an hour. The main issue is fighting with the many fasteners between hatch floor and top of battery, really tenacious. Maybe on purpose. Once you get them off the first time, you can leave the bulk them off and still have enough to keep it secure, make the next exploration easier.

    Just opening it up is a lot easier than buying and running a scope in, and if you do find stuff with the scope, you'd have to open it up anyways.

    And here's a filter material I used, tucked in behind the inlet grill. It's vacuum motor filter material.
