I'm trying to hook up a blend mount for a radar detector in my wife's qx30 but have no idea how to open the housing to install a mirror tap. The mirror seems to be completely wire free so I'm assuming it's running through the steps and into the map light housing. Anyone know how to remove this without breaking anything?

The cover snaps in place. Here's a diagram showing the location of the pawls. I would use a plastic trim removal tool to reduce the risk of scratching the glass or housing.

Blendmount claims to make a mount for the V1 and QX30. I haven't tried it, specifically, however.
I checked the Blendmount, but it says at least 1" clearance is needed for the install, and our rearview mirror is almost flush with the cover. I don't think it will work. After y do my cleanest possible install I'll upload some pics.
