Arrow Need help getting side sills/panels off to run wires.

Stripping the car down so I can run the composite cable from the rear camera to the front of the comand unit.

I've gotten everything out of the trunk and rear seats. I am stumped how to get the rest off in order to run the cable to the front. I don't care for driver/passenger side honestly just as long as I can somehow get it to the front...lol

I see that both sides have what appears to be a channel with the fiber and other wires going to the front components.

I'm stuck on the items that have the arrows.

Any help would greatly be appreciated...so close, I feel this is the hardest part compared to mounting/tapping for the camera...

yes, remove door sill and rubber seal running along door jam.... leave upper portion attached or else you'll be pissy because it doesn't fit when you try and re-install. once you take/loosen/partially remove those two items you then will be able to pull c pillar towards front of vehicle.... Good luck re-installing correctly

How does the rubber seal/door seal come off. IE: Pull out, pull up..etc. I noticed certain things while removing only come out one way and if you try and bend it another direction you distort but by that time it's too late... ask me how I know this...lol from our CLK.
