Default I have to run a wire from the center console to the back for a power sunshade

I did an extensive serch, but seems that no one in B5 have done any power rear sunshade installs.

So I am wondering would it be best to run the wire under the hand break and then to the back seat? or would it be best to run it along the edges of the door sills? anyone has run wire to the back? Any hints/clues would be appreciated. Thanks.

Default it's pretty simple...

there's three screws if I remember correctly. I just took my driver side sill off to check my sub wiring this weekend. Yank off your rear seat - just pull upwards, hard - and you'll see one screw. Then you'll see two in the front in the kick panel. They're behind little covers. Remove them, and you should be able to pull it out. You will need to use force, but don't be overly forceful. The tabs require finesse.

you can usually snake it under without taking the sill off.

Default are you starting something?!?!

that may be so, but it's pretty easy and this way you can at least make sure it's under there nicely without getting snagged on anything.

Default hehe...

it's definitely easier the first time not to have to remove them, but once you get them off, you realize how easy it is and you have a lot more flexibility.
