3 - 13 mm BOLT - TWO ON EACH SIDE
INSTALLATION
(1) With the help of an assistant place the instru-
ment panel into vehicle on roll down bolts. As you
roll the instrument panel up, lift the instrument
panel up so the duct work does not bind or bend and
you can set it down on the HVAC housing to get the
proper seal at the distribution duct. Get one bolt
started in the dash panel.
(2) Install the left and right side A-pillar retaining
bolts. There are two 13 mm bolts and one 10 mm
bolt. The 10 mm bolts need to be installed first to
insure proper positioning of the Instrument panel in
the vehicle. Start the right side 10 mm bolt first (Fig.
7).
(3) Feed power mirror wire harness outboard
through the A-pillar.
(4) Install both the left and right power mirrors:
(a) Connect the wire connector and install the
mirror onto the vehicle.
(b) Install the three torx retaining screws.
(c) Using a firm push, snap the mirror trim
cover into place.
(5) Connect the two front window defroster grid
wire connectors. One on each side of vehicle.

ing slots and firmly snap into place.
