Hard wiring radar and 5v camera power supply.

What's the Best route to get from fuse box(behind glove box) to top center of windshield? I am planning on dropping the headliner and passenger side a-pillar airbag to start but seeing if anyone has the BKM. Would like to avoid cutting/drilling anything if possible but am open to it. It's on a carbon top e92. Thanks..

I was worried about adding that much load to that thin gauged wire. I'm gonna run a dedicated circuit for each.

I just used an "add a fuse" in the fuse box and wired it around the a pillar, and under the headliner, works super well and no splicing. I took off the a pillar and tucked the wire underneath the headliner. I can tell you which fuse I used if u want, turns on with ignition and I don't think it's being used by any other component.
