1. 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:
a. Using a measuring tape, measure the distance
between the windshield pillars from the base of
the shade line.
b. Using a marking pencil, halfway between the
windshield pillars, draw a centerline (1) on the
windshield from the roof panel to the windshield
base.
c. 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.
2. Scrape the inside windshield glass thoroughly with a
safety razor or utility knife in order to remove all old
adhesive.
3. If reinstalling the original mounting base, place the
mirror mounting base in a suitable holding device,
such as a vice.
