[Front A- pillar cover removal with airbag]

Thank you for getting back to me. The only problem is the DAB aerial is 'active' and has a copper earthing pad which has to contact the metal of the a pillar so the trim has got to come off.

[Front A- pillar cover removal with airbag]

Hello

I have just purchased a new Kenwood DAB radio which comes with a windscreen mounted aerial. I have a 2005 CR-V with the side curtain airbags installed in the front a-pillar. I need to remove the pillar cover to install the aerial. I have looked online and cant seem to find much info on how, and if its safe, to remove it. In the Haynes manual it says any panels with a clip with airbag printed on it should only be removed by an Honda mechanic! I have attached a couple of pictures of the said panel. Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
