Install Rear View Mirror on 1990 Accord LX
Hi:
I have a 1990 Accord LX. I need to replace the inside rear view
mirror. I have a replacement mirror and could swap them if I could
just get to the screws. The mirror's mounted on the underside of the
roof. The screws are hidden by a cap. The cap's pretty tight and
nicely flush with the roof liner. I tried prying the cap slightly but
it looked like it wanted to start bending out of shape rather than
easily pop off. Any suggestions? Do I need to slide the cap in one
direction or another vs. trying to pop it off?
Thanks.
Kevin

I can't remember how the cover snaps off, but look at the "new" one and
it should give you a hint on what to do. bob

Thanks. But the new one provides no help. I can see how many screws
I'll be dealing with once I get the cover off; but it doesn't reveal
how the cover comes off.
Thanks.

Thanks. Looks like a very small screw driver or, even better, a small,
hooked piece of metal would do the trick. Thanks.
