    Greetings all, new member here. I want to drill a hole in the area under the back seats to run a coaxial wire to hook up my ham radio antenna. I will put rubber plugs in the holes I drill.
    Wondering if this will piss off the dealer or void the warranty.

    There is a plug under each of the front seats, no need to drill. My google-fu is too weak to turn up pics, but I've seen it mentioned in numerous YT videos.

    I just had the local radio company drill holes in my roof and run the cables for me.

    never had any problems, not worried about reselling it.

    but first gen so

    I mean, if you bring it in for water ingress under the seats...maybe. If you bring it in for a wheel bearing, prob not.

    If I can get away with this, you can poke a hole in a grommet :D

    There are lots of other factory options to repurpose before you go cutting a new hole. And most of those be much easier to revert back in the future

    Welcome to TW! There are already holes back there (with rubber plugs) to run wires.

    There are grommets back there.

    I’m not sure what kind of warranty you have but holes are not covered anyway.
