The good, the bad and the ugly. After talking with some others who have the remotes, I decided to copy them and mount the remotes in the trunk. This is not the ideal solution since the length of the hose limits where you can mount them inside.
To get to the vent area with the fender liner already removed, just remove any remaining screws at the bottom of the rear bumper cover I think theres 2 or 3. This allows you to pull apart the rear quarter panel enough from the trunk area to get to the trunk vent hole (vent cover just pops out).
Picture is of the vent hole area with the vent cover already removed. On the battery side just plan it so you can reach the knob over the top of the battery. The metal is thin so you need to use bolts, nut's and washers to mount the remote. Too thin for pem nuts etc. I put 3/8" high temp wire loom cover material over the hose to protect it. When I put the vent covers back in I notched them enough to clear the hose.
Mine turned out just ok, I can reach the knobs! A more talented installer could do a better job. I'm sure there is more professional solutions, like getting the quick discounts which would allow you to route the hose thru a small hole, which would give easier access. However, this requires the remotes to be charged after install.
You don't adjust these knobs often compared to the fronts, so the access works fine so far.
