APPENDIX B
This page only covers special installation considerations for the optional thick trim ring installation. If the video monitor is to be installed in a
vehicle with the thick trim ring, it may need to be trimmed to fit the contour of the vehicle Headliner.
Important NOTES before installing the thick trim ring:
•
There should be a gap between the headliner and the outer flange of the video monitor.
•
The trim ring should be cut to fill this gap.
1.
Apply masking tape to the outside of the thick trim ring.
2.
Mark the cut line to follow the necessary contour of the roof.
The suggested method of marking is as follows:
a.
First mark the narrowest point of the trim ring on the
masking tape. Be careful to consider not only vertical
location, but fore-aft location.
b.
Using the handle of a screwdriver, make a "transfer marking
tool". See diagram below. Place the tool against the roof
and the marker against the masking tape on the trim ring.
Trace the cut to be made around the entire perimeter of
the trim ring.
Tape marker to screwdriver handle.
Starting at your mark for the lowest point,
trace the contour of the roof around the
perimeter of the trim ring.
INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL THICK TRIM RING
3.
Cut the trim ring using a sharp utility knife or shears. Make the
cut in several passes over the marked line, each time cutting a
little deeper. It is not necessary to cut completely through the
plastic, the cut only need be over 50% of the wall thickness of
the plastic. By bending the cut back and forth several times,
the plastic will break cleanly at the cut.
4.
Check the fit of the trimmed console and make any minor
adjustments necessary.
