Installation

1. Make sure glass, inside rear view mirror bracket and adhesive kit (Rear View Mirror Adhesive or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G 176-A) are at least at room temperature: 18.3-23.9° C (65-75° F).

2. Locate and mark mirror mounting bracket location on the outside surface of windshield.

3. Thoroughly clean bonding surfaces of glass and bracket to remove old adhesive. Use mild abrasive cleaner on glass and fine sandpaper on bracket to lightly roughen surface. Wipe clean with alcohol moistened cloth.

4. Crush accelerator vial (part of Rear View Mirror Adhesive or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G 176-A), and apply accelerator to bonding surface of bracket and windshield. Let dry for three minutes.

5. Apply two drops of Rear View Mirror Adhesive or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G 176-A to the mounting surface of the bracket. Using a clean toothpick or wooden match, quickly spread the adhesive evenly over the mounting surface of the bracket.

6. Quickly position the mounting bracket on the windshield. The 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) circular depression in the bracket must be toward the inside of the passenger compartment. Press the bracket firmly against the windshield for one minute.

7. Allow bond to set for five minutes. Remove any excess bonding material from the windshield with an alcohol dampened cloth.
