Affixing the MirrorBeam Housing to the Mirror Assembly:
Note: The following procedure requires that the mirror assembly be no
colder than 60°F (18°C).
1.
Re-mount the plastic mirror assembly onto the mounting bracket using the
original hardware. Make sure that neither of the harness cables (LED and mirror)
are crimped or pinched. Tighten the Torx-head screws firmly.
2.
Thoroughly clean the plastic mirror assembly and the inside surface of the
MirrorBeam 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 MirrorBeam 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. To accomplish this, the housing must not be in contact with the
backing strips. Starting with the outboard strip, and using a small, flat blade screwdriver (or similar tool) 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.
8.
Repeat for the tape strips on the top and bottom of the assembly.
9.
Apply pressure to the MirrorBeam assembly at the tape locations. Maintain pressure for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the tape
to properly setup. This can be accomplished by wrapping the MirrorBeam/mirror assembly tightly with adhesive tape. See important
adhesion information at the end of this manual.
10. Locate the factory-drilled hole in the MirrorBeam housing. Using a 1/8” drill bit and the MirrorBeam housing as a template, drill a hole
into the mirror housing. Locate the #8 x 1/2” sheet metal screw (included) and secure the MirrorBeam housing to the mirror housing.
Re-assembling the MirrorBeam Assembly:
1.
Re-connect the mirror assembly to it’s main power harness. Route the MirrorBeam harness through the door, along the same path
as the vehicle’s main power harness and connect to power (See wiring diagrams on next page).
•
FOR LED, connect to a sw12VDC power source. Install a 3 Amp fuse (customer supplied) within 2 wire feet of this
source.
2.
Cut the non-insulated wire off the harness. After the connections are complete, confirm proper operation.
3.
Using the original hardware, remount the mirror onto the vehicle.
WARNING!
The tape adhesive used in this procedure is fully bonded after 72 hours @ 70°F (21°C). During this
period, do not expose the MirrorBeam to any un-necessary force, such as the high-pressure water
from a car wash.
WARNING!
The outer surfaces of this product may be cleaned with mild soap and water. Use of any other
chemicals may void product warranty. Do not use a pressure washer.
