A Pillar Removal?

[Robb1121]

Trying to install the Ford OEM dash cam on my 2021. Anyone know how to remove the A pillar on the drivers side so i can tuck the wiring behind it? I dont want to scratch it all up by pulling in the wrong spots. Photos attached of how it looks

Looks like there may be screws behind the cover on the handle, I would pop the cover off to be certain before you pry on anything else.

Thanks for the reply. Removing the handle covers is the problem I am having. Not sure which ene or where i should pry on it.

In your bottom picture, if you look at the bottom end of the handle cover, there looks like a little notch. I would get a small flat head screwdriver and start at that notch. Just be careful not to scratch anything. Maybe cover the pieces you are going to be prying on in masking tape?

Those little squares should pop right out with light pressure.
Small flat screwdriver. Pop. Pop.
I went thru this when I changed the stereo in my Ranger and needed to run the mic wire.

Had the Ford store instal my cameras before I took the truck home.

There are no square on the 2021. Looks like the whole center of the handle comes out. I tried prying the small at the bottom with no luck. I just dont want to pry all over and beat the thing up. Hoping someone has already figured it out and can pass the best process on removal on to the rest of us!

This is what is behind the cover - Good luck

Awesome, thanks! Because of the placement of the hole it is hard to get at it. I will need to find a short pick to get at it.

Insert a dental type pick tool in the bottom hole and pull outward - no need to "pry". It will come out. Unlikely you will damage it but if you do, it's only $6.60 for a new one.

I just ran the power wire under the weather stripping to the fuse box.

This is what I ended up doing as well. Seemed to work fine and is still completely hidden

I actually ran to the ODB port. That is where the factory dash came takes power from
