Finally I am done with the rear view mirror!
Ah, last night, around midnight, I was picking up a noble person from Logan Airport. The stupidly designed rear view mirror fell ...kept falling.. I was emberrsaed to even mention what car or brand of Car I am driving.
The person asked to stop messing with the rear view mirror and concentrate on driving.
Now time to drop my CLS to the Sunnyside to:
1) Replace the rear view mirror.
2) Reinstall correctly the driver inside door handle.
3) Paint the mufflers.
BTW, the rear view mirror used to wobble a lot, not it just falls and never stay in its place. Bad and cheap design!!
On the other note: Ah, I had the first drive in the Big Dig tunnel..(I lost the exist and had to leave the big dig and take 99 instead)

if youve known of the problem for a long time its your fault for not getting it fixed before your embarrasing moment stoopid

why are you using ghetto fixes for it?
its just a bearing type thing in the back that breaks... go to dealer... have it replaced. voila. nice firm mirror again

Where is my super sauce?
My mirror, even with all it's OnStar electronics in it, is rock solid. It hasn't needed any adjusting since the first time I adjusted it when I got the car.

Update:
The rear mirror get replaced yesterday. It is brand new again.
In addition, they painted the mufflers, they are now pitch black again.
To make it a better deal, the driver's door panel is scheduled to be replaced in 2 weeks.
Finally, a hand wash for my CLS does not hurt!
With the facility expansion and the renovation.. the service is back to excellent.

2) My dealer is a 30 minute drive from me. I don't feel like spending an hour and 15 minutes just to repair the mirror when my fix takes 2 minutes including time to walk to and from my car.
3) I wouldn't consider a dab of shoe goo a ghetto fix. It looks completely normal, and i saved time. Not to mention the mirror hasn't come loose ONCE since i did that.

Cool!
I still think it's funny that you US guys don't get the low washer fluid indicator. Whatzup with that?
And that my '03 6 speed was never offered with navi, even though every other Honda product in '03 was ....
