Lots of Mojo owners here will chime in I'm sure. I've helped a buddy do this in an I/O runabout. Taped over the vinyl. Used a box knife to outline the cutout. Then a holesaw to actually cut through and take the foam out. Probably could have done the foam carving with a box knife but his was clean with the holesaw and also had to go through fiberglass.

On my LSV, I had to remove the grab handle and some of the lower panel screws. It gave me enough room to get the cabin speakers in and out. Remove the seat cushions, and you can lay in the underseat storage area. Look up inside, and you will see all the hardware.
