Installation Steps
- Thoroughly clean the existing mirror surface with a non-oily glass cleaner or alcohol wipe to remove all wax and grease.
- Ensure the existing mirror is dry and free of debris.
- Carefully align the replacement glass with the housing before peeling off the adhesive backing.
- Once positioned, press firmly across the entire surface of the glass for 30 seconds to activate the bond.
- Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before highway driving.
Care Instructions
Clean the mirror surface with a microfiber cloth and standard automotive glass cleaner. Avoid high-pressure jet washes directly against the edges of the new glass for the first 48 hours to ensure the seal remains intact.
