Installation Notes
Mirror glass can produce sharp edges when cracked or broken. Wear suitable eye and hand protection while removing the original glass.
Before installation:
- Compare the replacement glass with the driver-side mirror housing.
- Confirm that its shape and dimensions match the available opening.
- Check that the remote-adjustment mechanism operates correctly.
- Carefully remove the damaged glass and remaining adhesive.
- Clean and prepare the attachment surface.
- Use an automotive exterior-mirror adhesive or tape compatible with the application.
- Center the replacement glass before the adhesive begins to set.
- Support the glass according to the adhesive manufacturer’s directions.
- Allow the adhesive to cure completely before operating the remote control or driving the vehicle.
Apply light, even pressure during installation. Concentrated pressure near an edge can crack the replacement glass.
