How do you remove the rear view mirror from a 2001 Acura TL 3.2?
Removal of 2001 Acura TL RV Mirror
The process of removing the rear-view mirror is relatively simple, but you must take your time so as not to damage the windshield.
The mirror is mounted on a "slide foot" that is fastened to the windshield. The actual mirror has a slide mounting bracket that slides over the piece (slide foot) fastened to the windshield. The method for removal and installation is via a small hammer (true) and a long slender punch (8-10 inches) or better yet, a long flat blade screwdriver with a decent handle. You will also need a "tweaking" flat screwdriver to be used as explained later.
Step one: Realize that to take the mirror off, it most come off by sliding (tapping it) to the front of the car. If you try to go towards the back of the car, you will bust the windshield by putting too much pressure on the slide foot. It can't be done that way.
Step two: Sit in the passenger seat and look overhead at the spot lights and the sun glasses holder. This square looking unit has to come out of the head-liner, but the good news is that it is really simple.
Step three: Open the sun-glasses holder and look up into the corners. You will see two Phillps head screws. Remove and keep these screws.
Step four: The "tweaking" screwdriver (flat) is now going to be used to take off the lens for the overhead spotlights. Insert the screwdriver near the front where the locking tabs are located. Careful here to not apply too much pressure. Remove the lens and lay to the side. Look up into the corners and you'll see two more screws to match the ones taken out in step three. Keep the screws. At this point, the square unit containing the sun glasses holder and the spot lights will almost fall out in your hands, but there is a retaining lip on the backside away from the windshield; just push the unit towards the windshield gently and pull down gently at the same time.
Step five: The square unit in step four will be dangling by the wiring harness. It has a white, square, electrical connector that furnishes power to the spot lights. Press the retainer tab on the side and gently lift up with your "tweaking" screwdriver. Pull the connector out. The unit is now loose and should be placed away in safe place with the lens and the screws.
Step six: The mirror itself has an electrical connector (blue in the harness) connected to the blue connector in the internal wiring harness. Press the retainer tab and gently pry apart using the "tweaking" screwdriver.
Step seven: On your mirror, there are two (2) plastic covers that should now be removed. The one at the top near the headliner will be about one in square and the one along the back of mirror leg will be odd shaped and about two inches long. Be careful in removing these; they are thin.
Step eight: Examine the hole where the square spot light unit came out. When you removed the plastic cover, it revealed the mounting base for the mirror along with the wiring. (You actually look through the hole towards the windshield to see the mounting foot.) Patience, we're almost there!
Step nine: Now is the time to be extremely careful with the hammer and punch or screwdriver. What you're going to do is place the screwdriver or punch on the mounting base, on a solid piece and tap the base. The mirror should start to move over the slide foot toward the windshield (to the front of the car towards the engine). Don't drive the punch or screwdriver into the windshield! It doesn't take super human effort to tap it off. It will move and come off fairly easy. Tap the mirror until it comes off and it will dangle by the wiriing. Now is the time to threat the wiring through the headliner hole and take the mirror down. Congrats....the new mirror can now be installed.
*Some may find it easier to use a flat head screwdriver placed on the ridge of the outer body of the rearview mirror's front mounting base as shown. A couple "soft" hammer taps at the center and maybe a tap on either side of the ridge will quickly get the mirror sliding down the bracket without ever getting near the windshield. Use of a small hammer makes this even easier because you will have more room to work and more control over the force of the tap you give to the end of the screwdriver.
Step ten: Thread the new mirror wiring through the headliner hole and fit the mirror to the slide foot. There is enough room to hold it on. You can't push it on with you hands, so don't try. Get it started and then use you screwdriver and hammer (small) to tap the mirror back on to the foot. Here again, it doesn't take superhuman strength, just finesse! Be sure that where you tap is a strong point; the pot metal could break if you get on the wrong spot or you whack it too hard.
Steps eleven until complete: Just go in reverse order from the other steps. Be sure to thread the wires back through, connect the mirror and the lights, replace the screws, and finally replace the plastic covers. Be careful replacing them as they are thin and could break. Don't get in a hurry, just do it right, take your time, and don't break them.
Final Step: After all is said and done, turn your ignition key to start or crank your car; turn the mirror to automatic; place you finger over the light sensor in the back of the mirror and then......watch it turn "blue". When this happens you can say: "That wasn't so bad after all!" If this happens, you've installed the new mirror correctly.
KEY POINTS:
- Use a small hammer
- Use a long slender punch or flat blade screwdriver
- Use a "tweaking" screwdriver (flat)
- Take your time and use finesse
- Make sure the mirror slides off the slide foot by going towards the front of the car!
I have an Acura CL. Just used this info to change the mirror. I didn't need a punch and hammer to slide off base. Just put my thumbs on top of the mirror base and pushed down toward the dash. Slide off real easy. Then slide the new one on and pushed it up with my hands.

Is it really necessary to use premium fuel in a 2003 Acura MDX?
It is best to use the fuel grade that the manufacturer suggests in the owners manual, Lower grades will void warantee (this is actually in most cases A SCAPE-GOAT), If you want to run A lower grade fuel, Run the tank below A quarter tank on the gauge, Then put A little over A half tank of 87octane in (so you can premium it back up if needed) Then take it out on the highway get it as warm as it will ever get (I am not saying to HOTROD it) Then go find the biggest hill in your area, turn off radio, turn on AC but leave fan on LOW, you want it to be Quiet in car, Get going up the hill, Give car some throttle, listen for any PINGING or KNOCKING sound in ENGINE, If it makes noise put premium back in, If its As quiet as normal Your good.,,,,,,, FYI, OCTANE does not indicate that fuel is extra powerful, It is THE RESISTANCE TO BURN, They use high octane in high compression engines, because it is less likely to SPARK KNOCK,,,,,,,,,,Also, It is used in JET AIRPLANES to keep down the chances of A fire.
What is the red light that looks like an airbag mean on an Acura MDX?
That light is the SRS indicator light (Supplemental Restraint System). It comes on when the computer reads a code of a faulty srs part. This does not mean it is bad, it could be just a fuse or something was disconnected while the battery was still connected. Removing the srs steering wheel, instrument cluster, seat, disconnected wire under seat, bad fuse, or a bad system could be any of the causes. Most times if it was tripped and there is nothing wrong it can be reset. Take your car to a mechanic to make sure it is nothing major because there is a reason the light is on and it may not deploy the airbag in the event of a crash. Although it is a little expensive to have them check it (30-90 dollars) for just hooking up a computer, it is better to be safe than sorry. If they say there is nothing wrong with it and just needed to be reset then you can do this yourself in the future if it happens again. Honda's and Acura's have problems with this and the dealerships will not guarantee that it will stay off. Do an internet search on how to videos on resetting the airbag light. On my Acura Integra I had to pull a wire out and put a paper clip in it at certain times to open and close the circuit to make the light go off.

How do you change the rear windshield wiper of a 2002 Acura MDX?
I've looked this up in my resources and they do not list a rear blade for the 2002 Acura MDX. I am not personally familiar with this vehicle so I have to guess that the wiper arm and wiper blade is highly proprietary (specific to that vehicle). If that is the case, you have one of two choices: Have the dealer take care of parts and labor OR buy the part and do it on your own. Most aftermarket wiper blades come with step-by-step illustrated instructions - hopefully the OEM Acura Blades do too.
