Position the bottom of the mirror base (3) against the windshield at the top of the support.
Slide the base onto the support keeping the base parallel to the windshield.
As the base starts to engage, apply force against the base while maintaining a downward force until it snaps onto the support with an audible click. This operation will require at least 89 N (20 lb) of force.
Ensure that the mirror is securely attached to the support by adjusting the mirror in a normal up/down and side to side range.
