Outer Mirror Glass Installation

NOTE:

Installation of the outer mirror glass can be facilitated by heating the outer mirror glass holder to approx. 50°C {90°F} to 60°C {108°F} degrees using a drier.
Be careful not to overheat the outer mirror, as temperatures higher than 60°C {108°F} degrees could deform it.

To facilitate installation of the outer mirror glass, orient the outer mirror in the direction of arrow (1) shown in the figure.
