I have the exterminator in every month, so I don't have to worry about mice or roaches running around down there at night.

What exactly are you guys all so concerned about seeing down on the floorboards??

I used the mirror to see up under the front seats when replacing the rear footwell lights. They are difficult to remove and replace with the LEDs unless you can see what you're doing. BTW, I can't begin to tell you how many friends I have who thought they didn't have a rodent problem until they stored a car over the winter. Come spring there were mouse feces throughout the car, upholstery was chewed up as well as electrical wiring. IMHO it's better to be safe than sorry when storing a vehicle particularly in the winter time when the little fellas are looking for a nice spot to winter over.

It is also style and preference, we have many customers that will email us as soon as they purchase a new car to LED it out.

Well I tried again. Got my hand behind to push and use a small flat wide head screw driver and just got each out. Neither went back in tight and are now loose back in. They did not come out or go back in like the front footwells or the 3 in the read hatch and sides.

Do you have any photos, the clip should hold this in.
