Default Removing Trip Computer Console & A Post Trim?

I want to disconnect and remove the rear view mirror. How do I remove the Trip computer and siconnect the wiring for the mirror? Also, how do I remove the "A" post trim to run wires? Thanks a lot.

A Pillar Trim should simply pull right off, don't pull super hard else you will break the little clips that hold them in.

I would assume you might have to remove the bulbs on the map light/trip meter/compass thing above you (I assume that is what you're talking about) then there should be screws in there somewhere which will allow you to remove it.

The rear view mirror is probably under the headliner or it's under the part mentioned above.

A-pillar trim has two bolts hiding under two little caps on either side of the HS handle. Remove the bolts and pull straight out, it's almost too easy.


The rear view mirror should simply require you to unplug it from the back, or are you wanting to remove the wiring included as well?

Correct on the two bolts on the handle.

As for the over head, you have t remove (pry out) the clear lens and get to the screws behind it
