- Determine the location of the mirror mounting base by marking the outside of the windshield with a marking pencil where the base was previously located. If it is not clear where the base was mounted, use the following steps to determine where the base should be installed: Using a measuring tape, measure the distance between the windshield pillars from the base of the shade line. Using a marking pencil, halfway between the windshield pillars, draw a centerline (1) on the windshield from the roof panel to the windshield base. Draw a perpendicular line intersecting the centerline (2) at that location. The top center of the mirror mounting base will be at the intersection of these lines.
- Scrape the inside windshield glass thoroughly with a safety razor or utility knife in order to remove all old adhesive.
- If reinstalling the original mounting base, place the mirror mounting base in a suitable holding device, such as a vice.
- Scrape the mirror mounting base thoroughly with a safety razor or utility knife in order to remove all old adhesive.
- Clean the inside windshield glass and the mounting surface of the mirror mounting base thoroughly with a clean cloth saturated with naphtha or a 50/50 mixture (by volume) of clean water and isopropyl alcohol.
- Using the Inside Mirror Adhesive Kit, or equivalent to apply a small amount of activator to the mounting surface of the mirror mounting base.
- Apply a small amount of activator to the windshield where the mounting base is to be installed.
- Allow the activator to dry 5 minutes.
- Apply 1 drop of adhesive to the center of the mirror mounting base.
- Immediately apply the mounting base to the windshield, ensuring that the mounting base aligns correctly to the marks made on the outside of the windshield.
- Hold the mounting base firmly in place for 1 minute.
- Allow the adhesive to set for 15 minutes.
- Install the mirror to the mirror mounting base and fasten, if necessary.
- Connect the electrical connector and install the wire cover, if equipped.
