Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: When working with any type of glass or sheet metal with exposed or rough edges, wear approved safety glasses and gloves in order to reduce the chance of personal injury.
    IMPORTANT: The mirror glass case is not the same for the right and left mirror. For ease of assembly of the mirror glass case place a little white lithium grease on the motor pivot and on the tip of the installed jackscrews.
