Aaargh! Stupid plastic hinges
I have installed the Muth Signal Mirrors in my H3, and decided to add the heated mirror option as well. I needed to run an additional wire for the heaters, so apart my Hummer came yet again. The connector that locks the door wire bundle into the door connector had to come off, and as I had taken it apart a number of times already, when I finally got the wire run through the mirror, door and cable bundle, and went to clip the connector assembly back on, the plastic hinge that holds it together broke.[:@] Now I need goto Gm and get another connector. Meanwhile, my door is off, and my windows down, and I cannot drive it around! So, boys and girls, be extra careful when working on connectors that have plastic parts. They can break, and if plastic, too much flexing can cause them to break.

I know that this is off topic, since the topic is: Aaargh! Stupid plastic hinges, but since you stated that you've taken most of the truck apart I figured you'd be the one to ask. So, have you ever removed the center console? I noticed that there are 3 screws on each side in the back along side of the seat bottoms, but it appears that the seats would need to be removed to get to them. I was wondering where else or how else it was connected. I want to run the ipod cable from the spec-USA ipod adapter into the center console so it can sit in the top tray.

I say go for it!
Here are some heated ones on ebay (but if yours are not currently heated you need to get their HMOD kit as well)

The heated H3 ones I bought were more than the H2 ones are going for. I offered $30 US less than they were listed. I think they only accept bids from US accounts. If you need some "help", I have an "in", could save you some more $$$.
