I have a roof top tent currently on my CX-5 (2017 GT) and I'm looking to add some flexible solar panels to the top so I can power a small fridge in the trunk for extended camping trips. Currently trying to find a nice route to run the external solar cable into the trunk. There seems to be enough of a gap where the trunk meets the roof to slide the cable in, however I can't seem to find a nice weather-proofed way to then get the cable into the trunk.
I've seen videos where people just slide the cable under the trunk's weather seal strip, however this adds a big bump to the seal and doesn't look great. Alternatively I could cut a notch in the weather sealing and then add some Sikaflex/sealant around there to re-seal the notch. I've also seen someone go behind the rear lights, however there's another sealed off grommet that I can't really access unless I cut it and reseal it after.
Anyone else have some ideas before I start carefully cutting and resealing some existing sealed grommets?
Thanks
