Default hatch antenna replacement problems (this really sucks)

ok i'm a pretty mechanical person... but i did a boneheaded thing the other day. i was replaceing my antenna on my 3dr 91 hatch and made the mistake of pulling the old antenna completely out wire and all instead of cutting the wire so i could tape the new wire to it and pull the old antenna wire out through the inside of the car. makeing running the wire extreamly easy. well since i did this i don't know where on the drivers side inner door jam the antenna hole is... the honda instructions suck. it's not even english. any way i can make my life easier... where's the damn hole inside the car. i tried a coat hanger, and a mechanics snake thing ( long spring w/ little 3 or 4 prong retractable grabber at the end.
someone please help my dumbas$

I would assume its in the same place as the CRX and well in the CRX its pretty far up I was on my back with a flashlight looking for it up there, you may have to remove the kick panel and like the main relay and such to get access if I were you I would move as much as I could then take that snake you have and go from the inside out and then on the outside use that coat hanger to guide the snake on through.......Have someone helping you so you both can move the things around and try to fish it out....Another thing you could try is to put the antenna wire down as far as you can and either take the snake or coat hanger and try to fish it out the end once you find the opening.....GoodLuck!!

LOL... Feed ur atenna down.. all the way.. if u cant get it all the way use a single wire one side to the atenna and the other with a wired hanger feeed it all the way down.. with the hanger.. then grab it frm there. theres a small slight hole on the side.. You dont even have to remove the Hood release bracket .. then as soon u see the wire.. pull it in but cut it from the hanger.. so it gets loose.. pull the wire in more.. then pull the hanger out then continue pulling it in with the atenna.. hope this helps...
