Initially thought I could just tuck the wires between and behind trim to hide them based on videos and some posts— then saw posts about being careful about the airbags in the pillars between the windshield and the doors.
If the wires are tucked just between/behind the seams, will they really have a risk of interfering with airbag deploying if it’s above the panel that’s supposed to open? Wouldn’t the direction of the airbag force be away from the wire in the seam? Perhaps I am overestimating how difficult/annoying it will be to remove the pillar trim and route the wires behind the airbags, as installing the hardwire kit was much more annoying than I anticipated because of the location of the fuse box. It’s a late model Lexus RX450 if that matters. There’s no plastic cap for a screw that I can see, so maybe I can just snap it off, but I am worried about breaking something.
