    My bad i thought you meant the brake light wire by the rear window

    Maybe some very shallow wood screws right into the fiberglass? Staples?

    Will the factory carpet hold a velcro hook? If so,wrap an adhesive backed hook side of one around the wire in a couple places and stick it on the carpet.

    This is the official ARE solution. It's a little 2.5" long split tube thingy with Velcro on the back. ARE part #16227-005 if you can find a dealer.
