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.
