Well, it is not actually a rectangle. It is more like an isosceles trapezoid (only the top corners are rounded). The base is 3 1/2 inches, the top is 3 inches and the height is 5/16 inch.

We need to get some translucent (i.e., tinted) tape to stick over that part of the mirror. I'd like to be able to see the words if i look for them, but they are too bright right now. Someone said that after a while I'd not notice the words any more, but i still do notice. Not as much but enough to be annoying.

Strange, but I don't notice the "passenger airbag on/off" light enough for it to be bothersome. Guess I am too busy looking at the HUD
