• Remote Controlled Rear View Mirrors
The remote controlled external rear view mirrors
attach to support arms using a pivot collar
secured by setscrews. Loosening the setscrews
allows the whole head assembly to turn on the
support arm for initial adjustment. A mounting
bolt and washer hold the arm support to the
mounting bracket. The arm support can be
moved to position the mirror head into or away
from the coach body.
• Mirror Control
The remote control pointer knob(s) for the
mirrors is (are) mounted on the L.H. side control
panel. The harness to the mirror head runs
through the arm support. The remote motor is
mounted to the mirror head behind the mirror
glass.
Choose the side to be adjusted by pressing
the "L" (left) or "R" (right) button on the
control pad. The flat mirror is then adjusted
by pressing the "upper" button and the
convex mirror by pressing the "lower"
button. The selected mirror can now be
adjusted left to right or up and down by
using the arrow keys on the control pad. The
R/H side round mirror is non-adjustable.
NOTE
The mirrors heater function (HTR button and
LED indicator) is optional and not connected on
this vehicle.
Disassembly
•
At end of mirror arm, loosen the setscrews to
relieve tension on the ball stud. Remove the ball
stud. Remove the ball stud from the arm and
gently pull the harness out until the connector is
exposed.

Remove the four screws fastening the mirror
arm base to the coach. Slide the harness free of
the mirror arm base.
Assembly
•
Attach a stiff wire (snake) to the end of the
harness and insert the wire through the mirror
arm base and arm, gently pull the harness
through the arm and disconnect the "snake".
Connect the mirror head harness. Insert the
harness connector back into the mirror arm.
Insert the ball stud into the mirror arm and
tighten the socket setscrews.
NOTE
Position the ball cup halves so the joint
between them lies on the centerline of the arm.
Ensure that the setscrews are not on the joint
between the cup halves.
Glass removal and installation
•
Using a non-metallic flat wedge, insert the edge
under the over-hang tab covering the mirror
glass.
Raise the wedge to spread the over-hang tab. By
continuing to raise the wedge, the glass will
begin to pop out.
Do not force the glass further than half an inch
outward. A secondary adhesive holds the glass.
This adhesive is used to cushion the glass and
dampen vibration. It is soft and can be cut fairly
easily.
Slide a straight edge, such as a ruler, behind the
glass and make a slicing motion back and forth.
The mirror glass will come free.
Remove the glass after the adhesive has been
cut. Some adhesive will remain on the mirror
