Default 92 Hatch Antenna wire hole location help.

What was supposed to be a 10 min job ends up now being a real pain in the ***...thought i had a long enough wire to fish new antenna with because its the only wire i had at the time to fish with and when i pulled it through to the outside i then realize the damn thing was too short and i have no idea where the hole is inside...

I been trying to search for some help on this and cant find anything on where the hole is exactly, i have my fuse box loose, main relay off, lower dash trim piece and the metal support out and still cant find where it comes out at.

Im about to drill a hole in the inside and run it down behind the trim for a-pillar if i cant find the hole for this, any help would be great.
This is with my head by gas pedal looking towards the outside of the car, you can see hole where wires go into door top right, this was the area where i thought the hole was but i cant see or feel anything.

Well nevermind, right under where antenna bolts down on the outside there is a round hole that goes under the headliner i ran it under that then down the a-pillar trim works perfect and completely hidden.

If you want it in the stock position it came out a squarish hole on the side wall to the left of the pedals if my memory serves me correctly.

I tied string to the bottom of the antenna cable before pulling it out through the top of the roof.

Let me tell you, even with the string, getting the cable down the pillar was a real pain in the ***. I suspect there is bracing with holes in it the cable goes through, needless to say the cabling loved to get caught on the braces instead of traversing through the center holes.

With much wiggling, finagling, shaking, cursing, pulling in and out and general persistence I finally managed to pull the cable out the foot well it was originally residing.

I will say, it was anything other than a fast easy 10 minute job.

String and a metal clothes hanger will get it back through. It isn't easy. I'm really curious how they did it at the factory

I suspect a robot arm inserts it at a precise angle or some thing like that.

Aggravation factor of 1000. But, I've done worse: Feeding wires through the connectors at the doors. Shoot me now.
