Best routing for Trickle Charger.
Haven't noted anyone trying this before so I finally took wire of a bit lighter gauge than my CTEK unit and shut it in the door in various locations. Seems the most play/space/sliding is by the mirror about 1 1/2" below the side window trim, where the gap curves down and forward. It was the only spot I found that did not put a lot of pressure on the wire.

Earth to ronnie ... doubt very much the wire notices any pressure on it. I say this having run it out the front of the hood opening for, oh, ten years or more on these cars.

I just put mine though the window and leave a little crack open (or leave the window wide open with a cloth on draped over the door so the wire doesn't hit/rub the paint).

Does that mean one can charge via cig lighter power socket in this car or is your battery in the passenger seat :-)

Also if you want a power (non switched) source for some accessory, the wiring to the cig lighter socket is a good place to use.
