Base

REMOVAL
1. Remove the rearview mirror.




2. Wind each end of piano wire around a bar.
3. Saw through the sealant to remove the base. Use a long sawing action to spread the work over the whole length of the SST (piano wire) to prevent it from breaking.

INSTALLATION
1. Cut away all of the original sealant by using a razor knife.
2. Clean and degrease the glass.
3. Apply primer to the glass and the base. Use only glass primer on the glass and body primer on the base. Keep the bonding area free of dirt and grease, and do not touch the surface. Allow the primer to dry for approximately 30 minutes.




4. Apply a 3 mm { 0.12 in } bead of sealant to the base.




5. Center the base in the ceramic coating and press it onto the glass.
6. Use white gasoline to remove any excess sealant.
