Microphone route from radio to headliner?

Hi everyone,
I bought and partially installed a bluetooth handsfree that connects to the oem radio as an external cd changer, and it works decently.
I'm trying to hide the install, so I'd like to put the microphone in the front dome light, so I'd need a way to bring the cable from the glovebox to there.
Is there an easy way to bring a cable from the glovebox to the headliner without destroying and replacing the clip that keeps in place the A pillar cover? My car has the side curtain airbags

Just move the door weatherstip gasket and run the wire behind that. You will not need to remove the A pillar trim this way. After running the wire put the weatherstrip gasket back.

Thanks for the idea, but I'd rather route it behind the curtain airbag - it feels unnecessarily unsafe to me to have an unaccounted for audio cable between the airbag and the interior.

If and when that airbag goes of it's not gonna care what's in the way for deployment. And if you're already in that situation a 18 gauge wire ain't gonna do much more dage than the rollover will.

Why not just stick it to the underside of the dash. Mine is adhered to the trim just over the cup holders under the radio. Out of sight, still picks me up just fine without having to shout or talk into it.
