Hi to the gang here.
We got a new 2018 Trax LT last week and I need some help to be able to install a Ham radio. Unfortunately, there is no service manual available for purchase so I hope that someone here can help me learn how to remove interior moldings and one side of the headliner. My plan is to:
1) Run two wires (12ga THHN) from the battery to the rear (trunk) area
2) Run two small cables from the rear area to the driver's area (remote control for the radio and audio for a speaker)
3) Mount an antenna near the middle of the roof (through a 3/4" hole that I have the proper hole saw to make) with a cable run to a side pillar and then down to the rear area where the radio would be.
What I need to learn is how to remove the moldings and release the headliner so I can do detailed planning and then installation of the system. I've done this sort of work in a few other cars but the Trax body seems to be built differently from the older cars.
Many thanks in advance.
