- Position the mirror clamp around the chosen tube.
- Secure the clamp using the provided hardware. Ensure the clamp is tightened sufficiently to prevent movement, but do not overtighten.
- Adjust the mirror angle using the quick-pivot design to achieve the desired viewing angle.

- Drill pilot holes appropriate for the mounting hardware.
- Attach the mirror bracket to the surface using suitable fasteners (not included, as specific fasteners depend on surface material).
