Re: rear view mirror removal
Several of the online Honda parts retailers have instructions that you
can look at online before purchasing. I reviewed the instructions for
installing the autodimming mirror, and decided I had better things to
do with my life! The mirror part is easy. Routing the new wiring
harness through the headliner and down the front window post sounded
like a pain in the a. I envisioned a headliner that never quite fit
right again or squeaked or whatever. I decided the mirror wasn't that
important to me after all. : - )

takes about 15 minutes to install one. they are much easier than you think.

Really? The instructions made it look pretty extensive. You have to
remove the visors, and get under the headliner and down the window
post. That alone seems like it would take a lot longer than 15
minutes. The work at the mirror location itself doesn't seem too bad;
running the wires is what gave me pause. So what am I missing?
