SUPPORT BRACKET

NOTE: The rear view mirror support bracket (or button) is permanently bonded to the inside of the windshield glass. If the bracket should become separated from the glass, it may be re-bonded using the following procedure. This procedure requires the use of a Rear View Mirror Adhesive kit that is available through Mopar in single application packages that include a two-part adhesive and an accelerant with applicator.

1. Mark the proper position for the mirror bracket on the outside of the windshield glass with a wax pencil. The residual adhesive on the inside of the glass from the prior mirror bracket installation can be used as a guide.
2. Clean the bracket contact area on the inside of the glass. Use a mild powdered cleanser on a cloth saturated with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Finally, clean the glass with a paper towel dampened with alcohol.
3. Sand the bonding surface (the smaller side) of the support bracket with fine grit-sandpaper. Wipe the bracket surface clean with a paper towel.
4. Apply accelerant to the bonding surface of the bracket according to the following instructions:

Crush the accelerant vial to saturate the felt applicator.
Remove the paper sleeve.
Apply accelerant to the bonding surface of the bracket.
Allow the accelerant to dry for five minutes.
Do not touch the bracket bonding surface after the accelerant has been applied.

5. Apply adhesive accelerant to the bracket contact area on the inside of the windshield glass. Allow the accelerant to dry for one minute. Do not touch the bracket contact area of the glass after the accelerant has been applied.
6. Install the bracket according to the following instructions:

Apply one drop of adhesive at the center of the bracket contact area on the inside of the windshield glass.
Apply an even coat of adhesive to the bonding surface of the bracket.
Align the bracket with the marked position on the windshield glass.
Press and hold the bracket in place for at least one minute.

NOTE: Verify that the mirror support bracket is correctly aligned, because the adhesive will cure rapidly.

7. Allow the adhesive to cure for 8-10 minutes. Remove any excess adhesive with an alcohol-dampened cloth.
8. Allow the adhesive to cure for an additional 8-10 minutes before reinstalling the mirror.
