Front A- pillar cover removal with airbag

Recommended Posts

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.

Hi.....welcome to the Forum

I have installed wiring up behind the panels before and just tucked it in behind the edge (if the wiring is thin enough) and not had to remove the panels.

There is enough space just to run it up alongside the edge of the screen and tuck it in behind the panel

Oh right!  probably best not to run anything that may carry any current or electrical signals (including additional earths) that could affect the integrity of the SRS components.

Is there anywhere else you can route it through...e.g the base of the windscreen?
