Trickle charger plugs into cigarette lighter adapter hole in right rear corner of car. Open rear hatch, plug it in, and leave hatch cracked open a bit to accomodate cord. Interior lights will shut off after 5 minutes or so and charger will do its' job.

Not sure what model charger you have. You can shut the hatch on the thin cord if you battery maintainer has one. This will not harm either weather stripping or the cord. No need to leave the hatch unlatched, unless that is your preference.

The exact same thing. There is an always-hot power outlet in the trunk at the right rear (same place as the coupe) for use with the trickle charger. Just like the coupe, neither the weatherstripping nor the cord on the factory trickle charger will be harmed by closing the trunk on the cord.

Thought I would tag onto this thread instead of starting a new one for a similar topic. Is it just my car or do these things continually run low on volts unless they are always plugged in. I was told to plug the car in if I don't plan on driving for a week or more; however, even if I drive every other day the volts are down. You would think that driving the car would keep it fully charged but I can plug mine in after a drive and it goes straight into charge mode for hours.
