I have a 96 camry and I need to get wires to the trunk from under the hood, as well as from the head unit, to my amp install back there. I figure i need to run them in those parts at the bottom of the door area in the car, but I can not figure out how to take them of because I am afarid of breaking them!

Thanks

Never worked in Camry, but most of the time the door sill moldings (which are attached to the carpet by the way) are just connected with clips that will pry up if you work them right. Some are unfortunately glued down. I had this problem with a Lexus once (nicer cars are always more of a pain) so I ran the power and signal wires on each side of the drive shaft tunnel (tricky, but it worked out great). To do this You will have to remove the rear seat and the entire armrest console. Still keep the power on one side and the signal on the other. I would still try to run it down the sides first though. Dont be afraid to use a little more force than you think you should because most of those door moldings are realy strong since people step on them all the time. Your local Toyota dealer may be able to give you some suggestions as well.

If quiters never win, and winners never quit, who the heck came up with the idea that you should quit while your ahead?

Those moldings will pop right off, just make sure you pry up on them near the clips (or at least the spots that seem to be "stuck") so that you don't crack the plastic. Even if you were to pull on one end and not even try to have the other sections pop out at the same time, you still would probably never crack one of those cuz they use fairly soft/bendable plastic.

Definitely run the wires down the side unless there is a very very good reason not to. Usually I run power down the same side as I ran the power through the firewall (either using an existing grommet or drilling my own hole). And then just run your signal wires down whatever side is opposite the power cable's side. When you run the wires just make sure that they will not block the spots or holes where the door sill moldings snap in to. Not only would this prevent the molding from snapping in properly, but it could also possibly damage one of your wires as well.

i have a 97 camry and the amp install took about 15 min. if the lay out is the same on your 96, take the power wire to the right (pasanger) side of the car. you can poke straight the grommet where the factory wires run. the wire will drop to the floor on the passanger side. there is a pannel under the footwell that you need to take off, it just snaps off and fish the wire out that is the hardest part. after that pry up the side molding firmly but gently and tuck the wire up there. repeat on the other side for the signal wires.
