        If the two faces on opposite sides of the form are not parallel then the back face doesn't punch a hole, no matter how carefully you snap to the back.
        Also if the back face is divided into facets - even with them all being parallel and the edges hidden or smoothed - then it won't punch either.
        In these circumstances continue PushPulling the extrusion until it projects out of the back by some distance.
        Then select the faces of the extrusion that are passing through the back face and right-click context-menu 'Intersect' so they are cut by the back face.
        Now Erase the edges forming the part of the extrusion you don't want to keep, and finally erase the face[s] in the back face to expose the back-face end of the tunnel...Capture.PNG
