Figured I would right (helping out the spelling/grammer police) this up, even though it's a fairly simple task.

Step 1

Buy this and then unplug your mirror, and remove wire shroud.

Step 2

Remove metal anchor point from mirror. Turn it clockwise....when looking at anchor.

Step 3

Clean the anchor point and windshield with a razor blade, ensuring all old glue is removed.

Step 4

Follow directions for gluing once area's are prepped, and install anchorage point.

Plug in mirror, and twist clockwise (when looking into mirror). Then re-install wire shroud.

Dane I installed mine with that kit without removing the anchor point! Held it up for about 2 mins and it was good to go! That glue is no joke
