Any issue with running cables behind kickpanel and rocker panel/door guards?

Running USB power cable from my dashcam down the A pillar and then bhind the passenger kick panel and then under the plastic rocker panel protection for the bottom panel under the door. I can;t imagine it would mess with anything but figured I would ask. I am not pulling any panels - just using a trim tool to push the cable under. Cable will make a 90 degree turn and go under passenger seat and up and in the cente console to the 12V port

I pulled the passenger kick panel and the one under the door when adding my 12 gauge fridge wire. The passenger kick pulls away from the side and there is one nut to remove in the back, the one under the door pops straight up. They are easy to remove and more importantly go back on like it never happened. Removing these will allow you to secure the new wire with tie wraps and perhaps avoid future issues. Nice project!

Obviously you can do as you wish.... it's your T4R, right?

I would pull the panels instead of blindly tucking the wire under any panel. At least you are sure it is secured and will never get pinched or cause any adverse issues!

YMMV
