Hello all, just wanting to ask this again but with different wording of terminology. I imagine someone mst of removed the "A" post upper Finisher someone must of removed this bit of trim before, to trace cables, either for footwell lighting mods (i've looked there, but it doesn't tell you on the guides how to take it off) or aerial fitting.
I have a active glass aerial to install, will be attached a slight bit down from the top of the passenger side front windscreen.
looks like this....

I need to get into there to a.) connect the earth strip on the DAB aerial to the metal on the post and b.) to feed the cabling down through the bottom through the dash so I connect power to the stereo as well as the smb connector. I know this is technically I.C.E related but as its over trim removal, I thought I would ask here!
Here is another image from the outside:

I know it sounds a silly question, but as the airbag is attached to the whole cover via straps (to stay attached during airbag deployment), I don't want to either damage the airbag, that could cost £70 (rimmers) or maybe change its operation accidentally by disturbing the mountings or the position of the sensor; I presume there is a sensor in that pillar.
Is there any risk or am i being too over cautious about this?
I know that the SRS system needs discharging for half an hour before the work commences (so I know im alright in that respect), but I don't know how to go about getting the cover off.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
