You have the visual problem also??? I thought it was just me.

Just in the last year, I have developed this issue -- and I discovered it
the LAST time I was under the panel.

I was trying to re-route my GPS antenna wire, and after turning myself
upside down and sideways, I realized that I couldn't focus well enough to
see what I was doing. Taking my glasses off -- usually the solution --
didn't help, cuz my clear-focal length is about 7 inches.

I also discovered that I could not extricate myself from under there without
experiencing grave pain. Next time, the seat IS coming out. I'm afraid
bi-focals are in my near future. (Mary started needing reading glasses a
couple of years ago, but still has 20/20 distance vision...)

Definitely take out the seat! Assuming the Pathfinder's seat tracks
are like my 180's - it takes all of 2 minutes to do. 4 screws and
slide the seat.
