2. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps for proper installation of the rearview mirror covers:
- Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the surface of the existing rearview mirror base where the cover will be applied. Ensure it is free from dust, dirt, grease, and moisture. Use a suitable automotive cleaner if necessary and allow it to dry completely.
- Prepare the Adhesive Tape: The covers come with pre-applied adhesive tape on the back. In cold weather conditions, it is recommended to gently heat the adhesive tape using a hair dryer. This improves the adhesion properties of the tape.
- Position and Apply: Carefully peel off the protective backing from the adhesive tape. Align the mirror cover precisely with the rearview mirror base. Once aligned, firmly press the cover onto the surface for approximately 1 minute to ensure strong adhesion.
- Final Check: After installation, visually inspect the cover to ensure it is securely attached and properly aligned. Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing the installed covers to excessive moisture for at least 24 hours to allow the adhesive to fully cure.

3. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your PIUGILH rearview mirror covers, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the covers regularly with a soft cloth and mild automotive soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Avoid Scratches: While the ABS material is scratch-resistant, avoid using rough brushes or materials that could potentially scratch the surface during cleaning.
- Inspect Adhesion: Periodically check the edges of the covers to ensure the adhesive remains secure. If any lifting is observed, gently press down to re-secure.
4. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during or after installation, consider the following:
- Cover Not Sticking Properly:
- Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dry before application.
- Verify that the ambient temperature was not too cold during installation. Heating the adhesive tape with a hair dryer can significantly improve adhesion in cooler conditions.
- Apply firm, consistent pressure for the recommended duration (approximately 1 minute) during installation.
- Misalignment:
- Carefully align the cover before pressing it down firmly. Once the adhesive makes strong contact, repositioning can be difficult and may compromise adhesion.
