Default Wiring help needed please

I want to run some wires from the engine compartment to the passenger compartment. I searched the forum. There was a good post with lots of pictures. But it wasn't clear about how to route the wire around the lower windshield post (and weatherstripping) and into the passenger compartment. Can anyone tell me which trim panels need to be removed, and how they come off? Tabs? Screws?

Thanks

You don't need to remove too many trim panels. Here is the install video for Curb Alert, it does a good job of showing how to route wires around the windshield post.

I used this method, not knowing about this video but figuring it out myself, to run wires inside for an NPP switch and later to run wires inside for my add-on front camera. I've had no problems after over a year of service. The wires are totally hidden and protected by the cushion of the weather strip.
