Thanks ilkka,

Circled in red is the part you have to remove, attached with clips so it comes out easily. Circled in green is the part where you can pull the cable through. The "pipe" comes off just by pulling it and you pull the cable through. I had to use one of those flexible curtain rods to pull it through the pipe.

Next step is to take off a small plastic hole cover that is on top of the glass, in the middle. Then you somehow pull the cable through there, I used the flexible curtain rod again in this. Took me a bit of time to get it there, but eventually I got it. Now the cable comes out cleanly to center of the glass from above. I think Nissan must have planned on this, since that hole is there.
How did you remove the part circled in red and the hole above the glass?
Any tutorial available?
Please advise.
Thanks

I think I just started lifting it from one of the edges with the part circled in red. I might have used this tool that came with my dashcam to get the edges to lift up slightly so I can put my fingers under it and start lifting it away: https://www.thedashcamstore.com/blackvu ... on-helper/ST09 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 25, 2022 10:05 pmHi,ilkka wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 4:39 pmI have.

I used the same tool to take off the plastic cover on top of glass. Similar plastic tools work as well if you don't have blackvue specific one.

Yeah i tried to pull it from the bottom corner nearer to the rear light but it was a really tight fit. I have set of trim tools including that one will give it a go again. Scared to break the clips etc lol.

There is an Epower Techna in the showroom at Blackpool with the Nissan dashcam fitted just to the left of the mirror. It looks good and I have ordered it for my Techna which arrives hopefully this month...

In a J12 with glass roof have people installed over the roof or along the bottom of the floor and into the boot?
Not sure if I'm doing a self install or get Halfords or someone to do it.
