In rare cases, it may be necessary to remove the A-pillar cover which will allow complete access to this area of the vehicle for the routing of the power cable. Generally, vehicle A-pillars have buckles. At this time, you need to give some force to open the trim panels. The gap in the trim panel does not need to be too large, you can run the wire along it. Consult your vehicle's technical manual or consult a professional if you are not sure how to remove interior panels.
