had to dismantle mirror to put harness in. Not too bad...
at all now that I figured out how it all routes. I can post detailed pics that I took with my other camera and all the quirks of it if anyone wants it. Not sure what is out there or how good it is I'm just doing it as it goes.
So assuming all I have to do now is put it all back together should I just cut my harness and splice it on?
Time for an IPA...

LOL. not exactly but do you know if it matters what order the 2...
wires to the mirror go? Doesn't look like they mention that so far in Bentley. Anyway not exactly there yet.
So far I can tell you there is a better and easier way to pop the glass off without breaking it than I have heard mentioned in the stuff I read a long time ago.
Back at it...

To be fair I didn't really ask any questions but don't recall either. It is on now and functions
so all is more than good. I am totally satisfied with it so no worries. It was about 3 hours end to end as I was wondering for about 45 min how I would route it w/o taking it apart. LOL.
Then I cut the wire to my gimp to get the connector and didn't realize the new mirror had a black and black w/ brown stripe wire and my gimp connector had 2 all black of same gauge, WTF?
Anyway, I was able to figure it all out. I think it is slightly different color but most probably wouldn't notice. My wife couldn't notice so I may be crazy. Thanks again...

No problem at all. Glad it worked out and it looks good . . .
I came across the same wiring problems when I installed my mirrors. At least it is around the same color compared to mine right now. Theres one pic in my pic poster that shows mine. But glad its on and working. Again looks good.
