1. Using a wax pencil, locate and mark the mounting position of the button on the outside of the windshield.
2. If the vinyl pad had remained on the windshield glass, apply "low heat" to it with an electric heat gun until the vinyl softens; then peel the vinyl
pad from the glass.
3. Thoroughly clean the inner surface of the windshield glass in the mounting area of the mirror button using a mild abrasive cleaning powder such as
Ajax, Comet, or equivalent, on a clean cloth saturated with alcohol. Then, apply alcohol to a paper towel and wipe off any traces of remaining
cleaner.
4. Thoroughly sand the windshield mounting surface (the side with least surface area) of the mirror button with a clean piece of fine grit sandpaper
and wipe the surface clean with a clean paper towel saturated with alcohol.
5. Using kit 4054099 or equivalent, crush the vial in the plastic housing of the accelerator. This saturates the felt applicator. Remove paper sleeve.
Apply a generous amount of accelerator on the mounting surface of the mirror button.
6. Allow the accelerator to dry for 5 minutes. Do not touch the mounting surface of the button or glass.
7. Apply a thin film of Accelerator to the inner surface of the windshield in the button mounting area. Allow one minute to dry. Do not touch the
surface.
8. Apply one drop of Adhesive to the center of the windshield mounting surface of the mirror button and, using the bottom of the Adhesive tube,
quickly distribute the adhesive evenly over the entire bonding surface of the button.
9. Position the bottom straight edge of the mirror button on the horizontal line and center it on the vertical line and press it firmly to the glass and
apply pressure for about one minute. Proper location is essential as cement sets up very fast.
10. Allow five minutes for the adhesive to set; then, remove any excess adhesive residue from the windshield in the attachment area using an
alcohol-dampened cloth.
11. Slide the mirror downward onto the button and tighten the screw.
