Hi, I was planning on mounting one of the Starlink Mini’s on one of the back wings of the expedition rack, then routing a USB-C cable into the trunk — what’s the best way to route a cable inside through the back of the car?

 

@PowerfulUK has this video of mounting the Plumb side boxes:


During it, Simon shows a grommet that is up high. I'd try and use that. Although you might need a new panel, as they seem to break easily.

 

Awesome! Thank you. Any tips for where to route the cable into the panel when I remount it?

I've pulled that panel on a couple of defenders now and haven't broken one. You could probably just glue it back together.

 

thanks! Would I need to drill through the factory roof rails? Or do you think there’s room to slide the cable into the pillar plastic when I re-attach it?

 

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you would have to drill the rail. I'm using the front runner rack without roof rails. It leaves a pretty big gap and I haven't had any water leaks. So I wouldn't worry about a adding hole to the rail.

Don’t do this they put it in the wrong place I wanted it on the back plastic piece so that way it would not Pierce the roof.

This is plastic so it’s ok to go here.

 

thank you! So I can drill on through the top plastic of the back top panel plastic as the recommendation?

 

Do you know what gauge wires you were able to fit through?

 

I ran a a pair of 10 awg wires that had pretty thick shielding and there was plenty of room. They were for solar. You could probably fit larger wires with a bit more effort.
