WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Jeep Compass. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check that the LRSM is not damaged.
  2. Avoid touching the sensitive surface of the LRSM.
  3. Avoid the sensitive surface of the LRSM coming into contact with dirt or fluids.
  4. NOTE:

    The layer of silicone material is protected by a film that is removed when the component is installed. Avoid hand contact to prevent damage to the silicone. Because it is not possible to disconnect and reconnect the part without damaging the silicone layer, the LRSM should be replaced if the windshield is replaced.

  5. NOTE:

    If a new component is installed, check that no air bubbles remain between the glass and LRSM; apply a load of at least 50 N (11 lbf) to be certain that any bubbles are eliminated.

  6. Clean the housing for the LRSM in the windshield thoroughly. Use a degreasing product.
  7. Place the LRSM in position.
  8. Position the retaining clip for the LRSM and attach the side hooks.
  9. Connect the LRSM wire harness connector.
  10. Carefully align the two mirror covers to the mirror.
  11. Carefully snap the two mirror covers (2) together. Be certain all of the retaining tabs are fully engaged. 
  12. Connect the negative battery terminal.
