[Mobile-Portable] Coax entry point into new RAM 1500 Quad cab?

If nothing else is found, a section of RG174 fits the tiniest  of spaces.

I have a  2009 RAM 1500 Quad cab. As I recall there are some plugs in the 
floor that  can be removed. I plan to go through the firewall with my  
power.

Subject: [Mobile-Portable] Coax entry point into new RAM  1500 Quad cab?

Bought a new RAM 1500 Quad cab pickup to tow my travel  trailer with and
am having difficulty finding path into the truck for the  antenna coax.
It has a great place in the console to locate the control  head of my
FT100D.   But I've not yet found a way to get the coax  in.

Previously, I've been able to gently snake the coax in under  the
hatchback door of my Toyota 4Runner with no significant deformation  of
the cable.  However that is not available of the new truck and the  doors
on it fit so tightly there isn't enough clearance to snake a cable  over
any door seal without pinching it badly.

Has anyone come up  with a good way to get the coax into a similar vehicle?

I would  like to mount the main body of the radio(s) under the driver's
side, rear  passenger seat.  There is a convenient compartment there.

This  will be my 7th HF mobile installation over the years, but I'm a  bit
stumped.  Your suggestions will be appreciated.
