W204 C class A pillar trim

How do you remove the trim on the interior side of the A pillar?

I want to run a wire from the dash to the top of the windshield in the center.

It'd be easier if I can remove the driver's side A pillar interior trim which has the airbag. How do I pop that off?

Thanks!

Remove plastic airbag label. Once off . Metal tab inside. Push-up. Then take hold of trim and pull up from dash and out towards you.

I have dash cam on the center up front window to the cigaret lighter outlet, you can just stick the wire between the trim and window and just work through under the glovebox without removing anything trim.. holds fine and i dont see the wire.

Do you have a pic?

I'm struggling to understand what you're saying here!

Thank you. Should I disconnect the batt first?

I would disconnect battery so that you do not have issue with airbag.

There's no messing with the airbag when you remove the pillar trim, it's just a cover over the airbag. Just remove as mentioned above, no need to disconnect the battery.

Ah yes, perfect. Thank you everyone.

I realized that the cap just pops off. I've been such an effing idiot. I thought it was this thing that if I poked it it would explode :O

All this time I was so worried, lol. Thanks again
