INSTALLATION

.
Prepare the Vehicle
First start with removing the door panels as per
recommended manufacturer's instructions.
Once this is done you can remove the OE mirrors,
you will also need to remove your Toyota badge
to allow installation.
This is easily done by carefully using a heat gun
to heat up the badge to soften the glue, or you can
use a small piece of fishing line behind the badge
and pull through to cut the tape away. (FIG 1)
Remove the Badge on 76 & 78 Series
Removing this badge will leave small holes
showing in your door after the final mirror fitment
as they are held in place with locator pins.
NOTE:
You can opt to leave your badge in place
and cover it with your mirror.
Prepare Mirror Bases
Mark and Drill Out Base Holes
If you fit the towing mirrors to a vehicle with the extended OE mirrors with 4 fixing points, you
may find that the bottom two holes are fitted with rivet nuts. If this is the case we recommend
removing these rivet nuts and using the supplied backing plate in the mounting hardware.
The LC76 Wagon and 78 Troopcarrier will require you to drill two base fitting holes through your
door skin. (FIG 2)The easiest way to do this is to place your mirror and align it to your door.
Tighten your top two bolts so you are happy with the fit and then mark the two base holes. Mark
the centre location of your holes and remove your mirror. Place the securing plate over your
marks to ensure the holes you are about to drill will line up.
Supplied Rubber Pads
You will need to fit the supplied rubber pads to your mirrors prior to installing the mirrors to your
vehicle.
