Never given these any thought before, but I have a dashcam installed
and running the wires through the side of the roof, under the "seals".
(see pictures)

But now I wonder if this does not obstruct the airbags?

There's a lot of info/pics to be found on the net, but non show
the exact "exit point" of the bags.

on the first picture you can run the wire under the pillar , you have to remove AIRBAG plastic cover , there is gonna be a screw , use a torx or philips screw driver and you will be able to remove it easily so you can hide the wire. for better appearance.
are those wires for power or rear window camera? if for power i suggest running them down to glove box power outlet. if for rear window you should be fine , as its not gonna have any affect on airbags.

thanks. it's indeed the cable for the rear camera (camera is hardwired in the engine bay).
so you don't think this cable will obstruct the airbag should it deploy?

most likely not , but i would run it under roof liner panel and under pillars instead of sticking in under rubber sealing... that way you will see where airbag are and can eliminate safety issues, yes it takes a bit more time but it safer and hides wires better

one last question. on the top side I don't see this airbag plastic cover. does that mean I do not have side airbags? I only see this cover in the front (first pic) and in the back of the car behind the rear door.

lol they are there , but there is just no plastic like in front and back. i think its a standart safety feature.
