Does anyone know if the side curtain airbag extends into the A Pillar? If so, does the A Pillar interior panel fold forward towards the windshield during deployment? The only images I could find are from IIHS (here) and they aren't showing enough.

I ask, as I typically have my RAM mount phone mount suction cupped to the windshield right against the A Pillar. In an accident, I would not want an airbag deployment sending my phone into my face. Also, I'm prepping for a cell booster install, and would like to place the antenna inside the A Pillar interior panel so that it is not visiable or in my way, yet still next to my phone.
 
There's definitely an airbag under that A-Side Panel. Not sure which way it deploys.
