I am curious to see what others do. How do you run your antenna wire for your systems when you have a vehicle that has pillar/side curtain airbags? I have done a couple, and make every effort to not put the wire in the way of where the bag would deploy, but have found that in some vehicles there is no other option.

I was wondering what everyone else thinks/does.

Generally try to route it so that if the bag/curtain deployed it wouldn't get in the way, though I've seen what happens to an antenna wire when the bag goes off. The bag rips the antenna in half.
