Trying to plan the route for dual battery install in my MK3 XLT.
I've got a canopy installed and the factory tub liner.

Just wanting to know if there are any cable entry points/grommets into the tub as opposed to drilling into the canopy.

Any tips on cable routes into the tub?

Thanks in advance

There is a hole on left side tub behind wheel arch near top of Ute liner. Get a screwdriver and prize down Ute liner so you can see it. Anything fed down that hole will go to the wheel arch.

as Goose said. I ended up folding out an old coat hanger, and located the 12v plug cable fed up through the hole at the top behind the tub liner. From there i just ran my aux battery cable along the same route after running it through the chassis rail.
