Fitting dashcam

[Phorridge]

Has anyone removed the centre roof plastic (that holds the 2 lights and SOS button?

I'm hoping there maybe a switched 12v feed in there as running a cable across the roof and down the screen looks to be a task and a half.

I've tried to remove the panels when I fitted my dashcam but aborted on the basis they seem reluctant to move. I've run the cables inside the panel gap between the two sections of the mirror / assembly where they're mostly hidden and then tucked them behind the rooflining, across and behind the A pillar trim panel then down behind the door seal to the lower dash. It's not difficult to do but requires some care and I'd recommend getting some panel removers before attempting to remove the trim. I've learned from previous experience that screwdrivers and trim panels don't mix !
