Do to health problems I haven't installed my dash cam yet Mobius 1. Sitting in my 1st generation Tacoma today (2001 4x4 Deluxe) I tried a couple of tools (Nylon pribars made for the purpose) I ordered from Amazon.
I pried the A frame plastic housing off fairly easy by slipping the tool between the headliner and plastic A frame at near the top of the windshield and prying, a tight fit, but it snapped right off the A frame.
Then I tried to snap it back into place without any luck. what am I doing wrong? I could have been to easy/cautious not wanting to damage it but I thought it more prudent to stop and ask you guys with all the experience. I've never seen any one ask this question before that I remember so it must be simple and just me being to easy going, but I simply don't know.
I called a radio installer place and told them what I was doing, they estimated between 2 and 4 hundred $$, I just thought to myself that was a crazy price!
I know what has to be done and how, except for this headliner trim and plastic A frame cover.
