The locking strip in 56 rear windows is on the inside. I would think that 54 would be the same. I cut a four-inch piece of old antenna, sharpened one end carefully on a grinding wheel and mounted it in an electric hand drill. I used that to section a nice small hole thru the rubber gasket and inner seal(locking strip). I had my son lay a pencil inside so that I knew exactly where to section the stud holes. That worked well for me and cut out a nice small hole. I thought a drill bit would chew the rubber too much.
