is to be measured along the contour of the mirror
AND at an angle perpendicular to the edge shown.

PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR ASSEMBLY
(MOUNTING-SIDE VIEW)
NOTE: Although the procedures outlined within this manual are demonstrated using the Passenger-side mirror
assembly, the same principals and guidelines are applicable to the Driver-side mirror assembly.
Remove the Side Mirror:
1.
Remove the door panel from vehicle.
2.
Remove the hex nuts that secure the mirror assembly to the vehicle.
Disconnect the mirror’s harness cable from the door’s power harness.
3.
Carefully remove the mirror assembly from the vehicle.
Prepare the Mirror Assembly:
1.
Position the assembly as shown in Figure 1.
2.
From the lower corner of the rear edge, measure a distance of 1.5 inches
along this edge. Mark this distance, as it will be used as the starting point
for the next measurement.
3.
From the area marked in the previous step, carefully measure from the
rear edge of the assembly, to a distance of 4.25 inches. THE ANGLE OF
THIS MEASUREMENT MUST BE PERPENDICULAR TO THE REAR
EDGE. Mark this area.
4.
Double-check the measurements made in the previous steps. Using a 1”
hole saw, drill a wire passage hole into the mirror assembly.
5.
Reposition the mirror assembly so that its mounting surface is viewable.
6.
Locate the area where surfaces “A” and “B” meet as shown in Figure 2.
7.
Using a 3/8” bit, drill a wire passage hole into the assembly at the exact
area shown. Use Torx™ head screw shown as a reference.
Note: It is critical that the angle of the drill bit is perpendicular
to angle AB as shown.
Prepare the Wire Harness:
Because the wire harness must be routed through a specific, narrow and twisting path
within the mirror assembly, it is necessary to temporarily extend the length of the harness
with a make-shift “snake”.
1.
Locate the tie-wrap included with your Mirror Beam™ and cut the fastener-end off.
2.
Locate the end of the wire harness that has SOCKET-type terminals installed on the
free wires. Cut off the non-insulated wire (it is not used in this application).
3.
Strongly secure the tie-wrap to the wire harness with electrical or similar tape as
shown in the photo on the right. It is important to have a sufficient length of the tie-
wrap secured to the harness (2” minimum).
Routing the Wire Harness:
1.
Insert the end of the tie-wrap into the 3/8’ hole drilled into the assembly.
2.
Guide the tip of the tie-wrap towards the 1” opening made previously. It may be easier to get the tie-wrap to the 1” opening by
bending the tie-wrap about an inch from the tip. If the tip can not be guided directly to the hole, it may be necessary to grasp the tie-
wrap using a pair of needle-nose pliers.
3.
Now feed the cable through the mirror assembly. There should not be more than 4 or 5 inches of harness sticking out of the 1” hole.
If the length is different from this, adjust cable length accordingly.
4.
The tie-wrap is now removed from the harness and the wire terminals inserted into their 3 position connector (supplied) as follows
based on application:
