I grounded my bottle warmer with a screw I found right below my driver side tail light from the inside of the trunk. You'll have to pull on the carpet to see it.

Check where the reverse bulb lights are. There's a screw on either side. Shave it down til u see bare metal. It should work fine.

Jesus, I've posted this 20 times, search azn u know better. The best ground in the trunk, and I've used 4 or 5 different ones, is the bolts on the rear strut assemblies
