    If you are looking for a minimally invasive path, you might consider removing the two wiper arms, then the two black plastic cowl pieces that form the cover over the sheet steel cowl tray that houses the windshield wiper motor. Then you can see into the cowl and the ventilation ducts.

    If you snake your cable into the vent duct, you may be able to get the cable down into the housing that contains the cabin air filter. Remove the cabin air filter so that you can see into the housing at that point.

    Then drill a small hole into the housing above the cabin air filter, so that the cable can exit the housing. Good luck.
