The Mustang Painted Mirror Covers for the new 2005+ S197 Mustang are a simple and easy way to add some extra style to your pony. The installation of the Mustang Painted Mirror Covers are a big "easy" on the difficulty meter.

The following is only a brief overview of the instructions, please download and read the attached PDF file for the complete installation instructions.

Unpack the mirror covers and confirm you have one left and one right side mirror cover, as well as an alcohol wipe and adhesive tape. Thoroughly Clean the inset area on top of both mirrors with the supplied alcohol wipe. When dry apply three of the 4 inch double sided adhesive strips to the top of the mirror, leaving the backing of the top side of the adhesive in place. Next peel off the adhesive backing exposing the sticky side. Place the mirror insert over the mirror, being careful to align the top and bottom edges, and press firmly into place. The bond will take approximately 24 hours to reach full strength.
But be sure to read the below instructions thoroughly before beginning.

Installation:

1. Unpack the shipping carton and make sure that you have a drivers side and passenger side mirror insert. Each is marked on the foam pouch that the inserts are shipped in. Also in the package should be two packs of double sided adhesive and an alcohol wipe.


2. First wipe down both mirrors in the inset area and the inside of the mirror inserts with the alcohol wipe. Then apply 3 of the 4” strips of the double sided adhesive to each door mirror as shown in the picture. Remove the white backer to apply the adhesive strips, leave the backer that says VHB in place.





3. Peel off the backer from the double adhesive strips as shown in the picture.





4. Place the mirror insert over the mirror, being careful to align the top and bottom edges, and press firmly into place. The bond will take approximately 24 hours to reach full strength. Do not take your car through an automated car wash during that time period.





5. Your mirror inserts are molded from a high strength plastic and finished with automotive grade base coat, clear coat paint system. They can be treated the same as the body of your car as far as maintenance. Any clear coat safe wax, polish or car wash may be used to clean or polish them.
