    one option to run it through the door jam openings, no drilling and easier removal at resale. following describes how I ran my temp sensor for the inverter.

    The cord simply goes around the door frame , just under the windshield area. My 04 had an open cavity directly to the engine compartment(above the door hinge), perhaps I used something, a wire, to snake through the area, then pull the cord and sensor. Actually very simple, and no wind noise or moisture noticed from the cable between the door and the frame. I secured it once last year with a heavy tape. I wouldn't be comfortable drilling in the firewall area, and there is no need to with my method.
