Step-by-Step Installation

Refer to the installation code on your Burco replacement mirror box for specific instructions. The following steps provide a general guide for a 'Drop Fit' installation, which involves removing all broken glass.

1. Remove All Broken Glass: Carefully remove all existing broken glass and adhesive from the mirror's plastic frame and backing plate using a putty knife or flathead screwdriver. Ensure no loose pieces remain.
2. Clean and Test Fit: Thoroughly clean the backing plate with rubbing alcohol and the new mirror glass with glass cleaner. Allow surfaces to dry completely. Test fit the new mirror glass to ensure proper alignment before applying adhesive.
3. Apply Adhesive: Apply the included Burco Redi Stick™ adhesive patches to the clean backing plate. Ensure the paper backing is removed to expose the adhesive. If your mirror has signal icons, ensure they are not covered.
4. Install Replacement Mirror: Align the new mirror glass with the backing plate and press firmly yet gently into place. Apply even pressure across the entire surface to ensure good adhesion.
5. Clean Up: Clean the newly installed mirror glass with glass cleaner to remove any fingerprints or smudges.
