INSTALLATION
- Check that the HLRSM is not damaged.

- Avoid the sensitive surface of the HLRSM coming into contact with dirt or fluids.NOTE:
The layer of silicone material is protected by a film that is removed when the component is installed. Avoid hand contact to prevent damage to the silicone. Because it is not possible to disconnect and reconnect the part without damaging the silicone layer, the HLRSM should be replaced if the windshield is replaced.
NOTE:If a new component is installed, check that no air bubbles remain between the glass and HLRSM; apply a load of at least 50 N (11 lbf) to be certain that any bubbles are eliminated.
- Clean the housing for the HLRSM in the windshield thoroughly. Use a degreasing product.
- Place the HLRSM in position.
- Position the retaining clip for the HLRSM and attach the side hooks.
- Connect the HLRSM wire harness connector.
- Carefully align the mirror cover to the mirror.
- Carefully snap the mirror cover together. Be certain all of the retaining tabs are fully engaged.
