I bought a replacement mirror from Suncoast for my CGTS, its bigger than the standard one which has always bothered me b/c of the way it tapers-seems kind of wimpy. Anyway, I started removing the existing one today and got the plastic two piece cover off, twisted the mirror to release the mounting tabs, and pulled the one electrical connector off( I have the manual mirror, not self-dimming). There is a red nylon cord running up into the panel above the mirror which is all keeping the mirror from coming off. The new mirror also has a red cord with a knot in the end attached to it, and I wondered what it was for. I'm guessing this is to prevent the mirror from crashing down onto the console if the thing gets twisted somehow and the tabs release accidentally. Has anyone done this? I now will have to remove that overhead panel/shroud (a seam runs down the middle, I suppose it just pops off if something is inserted into the seam at the proper places) but I'm fearful of damaging it. The new mirror came with new replacement plastic shrouds surrounding the mirror itself, but this other panel mounts up against the headliner. Thanks for any help.
I'll contact Suncoast but they warned that dealer installation might be needed. That doesn't usually scare me and I'm sure I can get this fixed, but before I plunge ahead I just wanted to find out if anyone else is familiar with the install.
