Mirror Face Replacement

REMOVAL PROCEDURE




1. Remove the mirror and plastic backing plate (7) by pulling the assembly out of the mirror housing (1).
2. Verify that the springs (5) on the actuator shafts (2,4) are not pushed down on the shafts.
3. Ensure that the springs (5) are seated in the grooves.

IMPORTANT: Verify that the springs (5) on the actuator shafts (2,4) are not pushed down on the shafts.

4. Disconnect the electrical connectors.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE




1. Snap the actuator shafts (2,4) into the power drive unit (8).
2. Connect the electrical connectors.
3. Rotate the actuator shafts (2,4) in order to align the ears with the corresponding slots in the back side of the mirror face (7).
4. Align the swivel (3) on the power drive unit (8) to the pivot points on the mirror backing plate.

NOTE: To avoid damaging electrochromic mirrors, yellowing and/or silver delamination, pressure must not be applied to the center of the mirror. Place a 6 x 9 cm (2 x 3 in) block of wood in the indicated target area. This will distribute pressure evenly.

5. Using the block (6), perform the following procedure:
5.1. Push in on the block (6) until you hear a snap.
5.2. Tilt the mirror (7) towards the upper actuator shaft (2).
Apply pressure on the block until the ratchet sound stops.
5.3. Tilt the mirror (7) towards the outside actuator shaft (4).
Apply pressure on the block until the ratchet sound stops.
6. Inspect the mirror for proper operation.
If the mirror is not operating properly, inspect the actuator shaft alignments again.
