It's really hard to tell exactly how much of the curtain airbag's length actually expands. One would think that the airbag section tucked down into the A pillar would not expand to the degree that the A pillar cover itself becomes a projectile. In which case my wire routing is fine.

Any thoughts?

yup, that is correct, the A pillar trim is tethered to that green looking clip thinger. There was a DIY guide somewhere here that detailed how to remove the A pillar trim, and it described in detail how to work it loose / put it back on.
