5. Installation Guide
Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Prepare the Surface: Thoroughly clean the surface of your truck's existing mirrors where the covers will be applied. Ensure it is free of dust, dirt, grease, and wax. Use an alcohol wipe for best results and allow it to dry completely.
- Test Fit: Before removing the adhesive backing, carefully place each cover onto its corresponding mirror to ensure a perfect fit and alignment.
- Apply Adhesive: While double-sided tape is pre-applied, it is highly recommended to add additional strong automotive-grade double-sided tape to the back of the covers to ensure secure attachment and prevent detachment over time.
- Remove Backing: Peel off the protective film from the double-sided tape on the back of the cover.
- Attach Covers: Carefully align the cover with the mirror and press firmly into place. Apply even pressure across the entire surface for at least 30 seconds.
- Curing Time: Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing the installed covers to excessive moisture for at least 24-48 hours to allow the adhesive to fully cure.

7. Maintenance
To maintain the pristine condition of your chrome plated mirror covers:
- Regularly clean the covers with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive automotive cleaner.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or high-pressure washers directly on the covers, as these can damage the chrome finish.
- Polish with a chrome-specific polish periodically to maintain shine and protect the surface.

Issue: Covers are not adhering securely.
- Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dry before installation. Any residue (dust, wax, oil) can prevent proper adhesion.
- Verify that sufficient pressure was applied during installation.
- Consider adding additional high-strength automotive double-sided tape, as recommended in the installation guide, especially if the vehicle operates in harsh conditions or experiences frequent vibrations.
- Ensure installation was performed in a warm environment (above 15°C / 59°F) for optimal adhesive performance.
