Watch that the tubing doesn't move out of position from the forced air. The tubing will be true to its name and shrink nicely protecting and securing the splice.

To take the visor off the car, there are two T30 bolts on the outside and one T20 bolt under the flap by the rearview mirror.
Not soldering is asking for a bad connection in the future. The wire will eventually oxidize and become a bad connection.

For a temporary connection, maybe. Permanent connection, no
