reupholster interior panels need help~

[Revsson]

I was wondering how safe it would be if I were to run a cable up or down the A pillar,
such as others have done with mounting stuff above the mirror. It seemed to me that
most of the other cars were not the 09's with the airbags there.
How do you remove those pillars safely?

Take a look at the "Interior" section of the 07 service manual that is posted in the DIY section. It shows how to remove the clips that mount the A pillars on a car with side curtain airbags. There is plenty of space in the pillar to safely run a cable. As a matter of fact the dome/map light cable runs up through the left side one and the antenna cable runs up through the right side one. Just tie wrap your cable to the existing cable to make sure it is clear of the air bag and its wiring.
