- Mount the new mirror onto the D-tab and secure it with a Phillips screwdriver. Caution: Do not overtighten, as this could damage the windshield.
Part 2: Powering the FullVUE® Mirror
- Connect the power harness to the mirror's plug. Route the harness along the top of the headliner, down the A-pillar, and to the desired location in the kick panel.
- Ensure the harness is not pinched when trim panels are replaced.

- Connect the RED wire from the mirror harness to a 12-volt accessory power source.
- Connect the YELLOW wire from the mirror harness to a 12-volt constant power source.
