Interior Rearview Mirror - Installation

REAR VIEW MIRROR BUTTON

NOTE: The rear view mirror button is permanently bonded to the inside of the windshield glass. If the button should become separated from the glass, it may be re-bonded using the following procedure. This procedure requires the use of a Rear View Mirror Adhesive kit that is available through Mopar(R) in single application packages that include a two-part adhesive and an accelerant with applicator.

1. Mark the proper position for the mirror button on the outside of the windshield glass with a wax pencil. The residual adhesive on the inside of the glass from the prior mirror button installation can be used as a guide.
2. Clean the button contact area on the inside of the glass. Use a mild powdered cleanser on a cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol. Finally, clean the glass with a paper towel dampened with alcohol.
3. Sand the bonding surface (the smaller side) of the support button with fine grit-sandpaper. Wipe the button surface clean with a paper towel.
4. Apply accelerant to the bonding surface of the button according to the following instructions:
- Crush the accelerant vial to saturate the felt applicator.
- Remove the paper sleeve.
- Apply accelerant to the bonding surface of the button.
- Allow the accelerant to dry for five minutes.
- Do not touch the button bonding surface after the accelerant has been applied.

5. Apply adhesive accelerant to the button contact area on the inside of the windshield glass. Allow the accelerant to dry for one minute. Do not touch the button contact area of the glass after the accelerant has been applied.
6. Install the button according to the following instructions:
- Apply one drop of adhesive at the center of the button contact area on the inside of the windshield glass.
- Apply an even coat of adhesive to the bonding surface of the button.
- Align the button with the marked position on the windshield glass.
- Press and hold the button in place for at least one minute.

NOTE: Verify that the mirror button is correctly aligned, because the adhesive will cure rapidly.

7. Allow the adhesive to cure for 8-10 minutes. Remove any excess adhesive with an alcohol-dampened cloth.
8. Allow the adhesive to cure for an additional 8-10 minutes before reinstalling the mirror.
