I think from the factory the wire (green I believe) followed the main wiring harness through the firewall and down the inside of the cabin. I'm pretty sure the routing is different for sedans vs. hardtops and convertibles. I think on sedans the wiring harness went up the A pillar and through the roof rail.

On my hardtop, the main harness runs along the floor on the driver's side. According to the schematics, the reverse wire should be included in that bundle. My car had reverse lights added sometime after it was new, and they ran the reverse wire under the body on the frame, which then was coated in sealer and unsalvagable. I ran a new green wire from front to back following the factory harness inside the cab.
