Installation and Mounting Instructions: Cont.
Step 4
Have an assistant hold either the Passenger or the Driver side of the the Unit up to the vehicle's windshield as
close as possible to desired location. Make sure that the rubber gasket on the Unit's lower Panel folds down to conform
to the vehicle's windshield curve and that the gasket at the top of the Unit folds back towards the passenger compartment
to conform to the angle of the vehicle's windshield (See Figure 3 on page 6). Note: In operation, the purpose of these
gaskets is to block out as much flash back light from the driver's view as possible so that the driver will not be
distracted. While the Unit is held in position, hold up the Inner and Outer Mounting Bracket assemblies to the Outer
Panel of the Unit to determine the appropriate mounting hole locations that best line up with the slots in the Slotted Mount-
ing Brackets for each of the bracket assemblies.
Step 5
Loosley thread the 1/4" Internal Tooth Lock Washers, and the 1/4"-20 X 3/8" long Phillips Pan Head Screws into
the the closest appropriate mounting hole locations for the hardware and make adjustments to position them close to their
final position. See the under side view of the Unit Assembly in Figure 4 on page 6 for bracket assembly orientation and
mounting hole adjustment choices. As stated in note 2 above and as shown in Figure-4 it is recommended that each of
the Unit's Slotted Mounting Bracket use (2) each of the 1/4" Internal Tooth Lock Washers, and 1/4"-20 X 3/8" long Phillips
Pan Head Screws to mount it to the Unit's Outer Panel. Line up the holes in the Unit's Inner and Outer Mounting Brackets
with the holes in the vehicle's headliner where the vehicle's visor pivot brackets and the visor clips were installed. Once
the brackets are aligned, tighten the screws in the Unit's Outer Panel only tight enough too keep the Slotted Brackets in
their orientation and keep them from moving so that they will stay in position.
Step 6
Observe the angles and positions of the Inner and Outer Mounting Brackets and then disassemble and remove
them from the slotted mounting brackets.
Step 7
Hold the Unit's Outer Mounting Bracket for the side of the vehicle you have been working on up in position with
the hole in the vehicle's headliner where the plastic outer visor pivot bracket was and determine what modifications if nec-
essary will be required to make it fit up against the headliner at the approximate angle it was in when you observed it in
step 6 above. Make any required modifications to make the bracket fit up against the headliner and fit the vehicle's plastic
outer pivot bracket.
Step 8
Mount the Unit's Outer Mounting Bracket and the vehicle's plastic visor pivot bracket using the vehicle's OEM
fasteners making sure the bracket is oriented at approximately the same angle it was at when you observed it in step 6
above. If the vehicle's OEM fasteners are too short either use the #8 X 1" Black Phillips Truss Head Sheet Metal Screws
or if the supplied fasteners will not work obtain appropriate screws at your local hardware store. Tighten the screws up to
snug the Outer Mounting Bracket tight up against the vehicle's headliner and in position.
Step 9
Mount the Unit's Inner Mounting Bracket and the vehicle's inner visor clip using the vehicle's OEM fastener
making sure the bracket is oriented at approximately the same angle it was at when you observed it in step 6 above. If the
vehicle's OEM fastener is too short either use the #8 X 1" Black Phillips Truss Head Sheet Metal Screw or if the supplied
fasteners will not work obtain appropriate screws at your local hardware store. Tighten the screw up to snug the Inner
Mounting Bracket tight up against the vehicle's headliner and in position.
Step 10
Hold the Unit Back up to the Installed Unit's Outer and Inner Mounting Brackets and determine if the angles of
the brackets need to be bent to re align them with the angled mounting tabs of the Slotted Mounting Brackets to facilitate
the final installation of the Unit. If necessary remove the Outer and Inner Mounting Brackets and bend the angles to line
them up with the Slotted Mounting Brackets or remove and bend the angles of the Slotted Mounting Brackets so that they
line up. Reposition all of the the Brackets, remount them to the vehicle's headliner and re fasten the Slotted Mounting
Brackets to the Inner and Outer Mounting Brackets. Make any required final adjustments and fully tighten all hardware.
Note 1: The Unit's Gaskets must be up against the vehicle's windshield to block out as much light as possible.
If you are experiencing problems keeping the upper gasket in place see page 13 for a tip on how to hold the gas-
kets in place while completing the installattion.
Note 2: the Unit must be as close to level to the ground as possible in the front to back direction when it is in it's
final location. The Unit may be slightly out of level in the left to right direction but should still be somewhat close
to level in order to obtain maximum performance from the product when installed (See Figure 3 on page 6). It is
very important that the vehicle is setting on a level floor when checking the Unit for level before making adjust-
ments for the final assembly.
