To Remove the Side Mirror Assembly:
1. Remove the cover from behind the door pull and remove the two
10mm bolts underneath (Fig. 1).
2. Locate the small cover behind the door opener, pull it off and remove
the 10mm bolt underneath.
3. There are 16 snap-in fasteners located around the door panel.
Carefully pry the door panel loose but do not remove the panel yet.
4. Behind the door opener assembly remove the two 7mm bolts.
5. Unplug the 3 connectors behind the door pull. IMPORTANT: Be sure
to remember where the connectors plug in for reassembly.
6. Remove the door lock button and pull the door panel off then unplug
the wire harness that goes to the mirror.
7. Remove the triangular cover covering the inside of the mirror base.
Remove the three bolts underneath the cover that hold the mirror
assembly on then remove the mirror assembly from the vehicle.
Preparing Mirror Assembly:
1. Remove the cover from the
front of the mirror assembly
(Fig. 2). (The cover snaps
off. Be careful not to brake
the snaps.)
2. Measure as shown (Fig. 3)
and mark off this location
onto the mirror assembly
cover, than drill the wire
hole through the cover
using a 3/8” drill.
Preparing Wire Harness:
Because the harness cable
must be routed through a
specific, narrow and twisting
path within the mirror
assembly, it may be necessary
to temporarily extend the
length of the harness.
1. Locate the ty-wrap
(included) and cut the
fastener-end off.
2. Locate the end of the harness cable that has SOCKET-type terminals
installed on the free wires. Cut off the non-insulated wire (not used in
this application).
3. Strongly secure the ty-wrap to the
harness cable with electrical or similar
tape. It is important to have a sufficient
length of the ty-wrap secured to the
harness (2” minimum) (Fig. 4).
Routing Harness Cable:
1. Insert the end of the ty-wrap into the
mirror assembly via the same pathway
as the mirror power cable. Push the ty-wrap through this opening
until the end of the ty-wrap sticks out of the mirror base. Pull the ty-
wrap until slack in the harness is gone (Fig. 5).
2. Pull the wire through
the housing and out
the wire exit hole.
There should not be
more than 4 - 5” of
harness sticking out of
the mirror assembly.
3. Insert the end of the
harness into the 3/8”
hole you drilled in the
mirror assembly cover
and snap the cover
back onto the mirror assembly.
4. Remove the ty-wrap from the harness and insert the wire terminals
into their 2 - 3 position connectors (see wiring diagrams).
Affixing Mirror-Beam™ Housing to Mirror Assembly:
Note:The following procedure requires that the mirror assembly be
no colder than 60°F (18°C).
1. Remount the mirror assembly onto the mounting bracket using the
original hardware. Make sure that neither of the harness cables are
crimped or pinched. Tighten the bolts firmly.
2. Thoroughly clean the plastic mirror assembly and the inside surface
of the Mirror-Beam housing using a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl (not
rubbing) alcohol and water. Dry completely.
3. Locate the three, 6” strips of double-sided adhesive tape (included)
and position one 6” strip on the top and one on the bottom of the
mirror assembly. When properly positioned, the tape will be centered
between the inboard and outboard ends of the mirror assembly and
the leading edge of the tape will be set back approximately 1/4” from
the rear (mirror side) edge of the assembly. After the tape is
positioned, it is important to apply pressure to the protective backing
so that the tape adheres to the surface.
4. Cut the remaining 6” length of tape in half. Using the procedure
outlined in the previous step, adhere one 3” length of tape to the
outboard end of the mirror assembly and the remaining 3” length to
the curved “neck” of the mirror assembly.
5. Fold the protective backing strips on the top, bottom and outboard
tape strips so that 1/2” to 3/4” of backing is extended over the rear
edge of the plastic mirror assembly. Trim and remove the exposed
tape. Remove the protective backing from the tape strip on the “neck”
of the mirror.
6. Mount the Mirror-Beam housing onto the mirror assembly as shown.
The housing must fully engage the mirror assembly.
Press the housing firmly onto the exposed tape on the “neck” of the
mirror.
7. The remaining protective backing strips must now be removed. The
housing must not be in contact with the backing strips. Starting with
the outboard strip, and using a small, flat blade screwdriver gently
pry the housing about 1/4” away from the mirror assembly. Carefully
pull the protective strip “tab” created in step 6, and gently remove it
completely from the tape strip. Do not allow the strip to tear while
being removed.
