Inside Rear View Mirror Bracket

REMOVAL






1. If bracket vinyl pad remains on windshield glass, apply low heat from Rotunda Heat Gun 107-R0301 or equivalent until the vinyl softens. Peel vinyl off the windshield glass and discard.

INSTALLATION
1. Make sure windshield glass, inside rear view mirror bracket, and Rear View Mirror Adhesive D9AZ-19554-CA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G176-A are at least at room temperature: 18°-24° C (65°-75° F).
2. Locate and mark inside rear view mirror bracket location on the outside surface of the windshield glass.
3. Thoroughly clean bonding surfaces of windshield glass and inside rear view mirror bracket to remove old adhesive. Use mild abrasive cleaner on windshield glass and fine sandpaper on inside rear view mirror bracket to lightly roughen surface. Wipe clean with alcohol-moistened cloth.
4. Crush accelerator vial (part of Rear View Mirror Adhesive D9AZ-19554-CA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G176-A) and apply accelerator to bonding surface of inside rear view mirror bracket and windshield glass. Let dry for three minutes.
5. Apply two drops of Rear View Mirror Adhesive D9AZ-19554-CA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G176-A to the mounting surface of the inside rear view mirror bracket. Using a clean toothpick or wooden match, quickly spread the adhesive evenly over the mounting surface of the inside rear view mirror bracket.
6. Quickly position the inside rear view mirror bracket on the windshield glass. The 9.5 mm (3/8-inch) circular depression in the inside rear view mirror bracket must be toward the inside of the passenger compartment. Press and hold the inside rear view mirror bracket firmly against the windshield glass for one minute.
7. Allow the bond to set for five minutes. Remove any excess bonding material from the windshield glass with an alcohol-moistened cloth.
