Help Remove internal panels to fit rear dash cam

Hi

New for owner though my wife has a 16 year old Fiesta.

I have used the search function but could not find anything.

I have just bought a second hand Ford Focus 2015 Mk 3 Titanium  (Pre-facelift).

I was given a dashcam  for my birthday with a rear facing camera and I would like to install it hiding the cables behind the trim as far as possible.  

The front camera and power I think I can work out as plenty of guidance.

I plan to run the cable behind the door rubbers over the doors.

I think I need to slacken  the B and C piller trim and the panel above the near side rear side window  and remove the panel over the rear window then go through one of the ribbed cable tubes connecting the door to the body and remove the trim at the top of the hatchback window.

Can anyone point me at a book, website or guide I don't want to break any trim connectors.

Also Are the four tool sets on ebay stated as suitable for Fords  http://tinyurl.com/y3j7r2nx adequate?

    Thanks Mr Metallica have had better look and it is the plastic trim just in front of the hatchback door and the trim over the door window that will need to be lifted. So if anyone can give any advice gratefully received. 😀
