Your new trim part may NOT stick to the inside surfaces of your car!

IMPORTANT! - READ THIS BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR PART(S)

In many situations interior panels and surfaces become saturated with silicone chemical such as Armor-All (even if done years ago), or other forms of residue. Although this makes the door surface look nice these chemicals become embedded into the ABS plastic of your door panels or dashboard. These treatments must first be removed in order to prepare your surfaces to be bonded to.

This removal can take some doing in most cases, the best way we have found to remove these treatments is to apply several different solvents to break down these chemicals.

NOTE: Apply this cleaning process to only the surface areas inside you vehicle where you will be sticking your new interior trim parts.

STEP 1. First scrub the area where the interior trim piece is to be applied with a 511-SOLUTION:

5-parts warm water
1-part regular household ammonia
1-part plain liquid dish detergent
Use several cloths and change them frequently

STEP 2. Next you will need to scrub the area to be applied with the small abrasive pad provided. Then remove all residues with household rubbing alcohol by forcibly scrubbing the area then immediately wiping off the wet alcohol with a clean paper towel. Be careful to only do this procedure to the area that you will be applying your new accessory to.

STEP 3. Repeat step two again only this time use household Acetone (found in any hardware department) instead of the rubbing alcohol. After you complete the acetone treatment your surface area should look dry and ashy looking.
NOTE: If this ashy look is apparent to any area that your new accessory does not cover - you can simply apply armor-all to the area AFTER you have completely installed your trim part - and it will disappear.
NOTE: You may have to repeat the cleaning process several times depending on your surface.

STEP 4. Included is a small piece of 3M automotive attachment tape (included). This is a test strip. Peel back the rear red liner and stick a corner of the tape to the surface of your interior where you plan on sticking your new trim piece. If the test strip of tape sticks readily proceed to the step 5.
NOTE: If it does not stick firmly begin the cleaning process over again until it does.

STEP 5. Once you have completed these steps you can then apply a single thin swipe of the adhesive promoter in either a wipe format or a sponge tip pen (provided with your accessory). This clear odorless liquid will prepare the surface a tight stick for a permanent installation.

Now continue on with your installation.

Installation

Wash your Vipers’ rear view mirror with a good glass cleaner. Next, take some rubbing alcohol and wipe along the perimeter of the glass mirror where you are going to mount the trim. It is imperative that you remove any oils from the glass.
Take the Rear View Mirror Trim without removing the back liner and hold it up to your rear view mirror. Practice positioning it to see how it fits. Once you are comfortable with the fit remove the liner from the back to expose the automotive tapes sticky side.
Take the Promoter Pen and snap it in the middle to break the ampoule inside. Press it down on a piece of cardboard to get the liquid promoter flowing. Very carefully using the promoter pen apply the promoter along the perimeter of the glass rear view mirror. This will help to enable a tight bond when you install the trim.
Carefully and slowly hold the trim over the mirror. Gently maneuver it into place. Do not press it down at first. Once you are comfortable with the position press the trim down on to the mirror glass. With your fingers press firmly all along the trim piece so that it sits completely flat on the glass mirror.
Let dry overnight before touching or exposing to sunlight or extreme heat.
