(4) With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly
back it away from the screw until the tool is at least
2 feet from the screw head, then unplug the tool.
(5) Place an 8-1/2 X 11 inch piece of paper, oriented
lengthwise from front to rear, on the center line of
the roof at the windshield header (Fig. 4). The pur-
pose of the paper is to protect the roof panel from
scratches and define the area to be demagnetized.
(6) Plug in the degaussing tool, while keeping the
tool at least 2 feet away from the compass unit.
(7) Slowly approach the center line of the roof
panel at the windshield header with the degaussing
tool plugged in.
(8) Contact the roof panel with the tip of the tool.
Be sure template is in place to avoid scratching the
roof panel. Using a slow, back and forth sweeping
motion and allowing 1/2-inch between passes (Fig. 4),
move the tool at least 4 inches either side of the roof
center line and 11 inches back from the windshield
header.
(9) With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly
back it away from the roof panel until the tip is at
least 2 feet from the roof. Then unplug the tool.
(10) Calibrate the compass and adjust variance as
described in this group.OVERHEAD CONSOLE REMOVE/INSTALL
(1) Remove screw forward of the compass unit (Fig.
5).
(2) Flex housing outward while pressing upward to
disengage the housing from the rear bracket (Arrow
1 in Fig. 5).
(3) Slide console rearward until the console de-
taches from the front mounting bracket (Arrow 2 in
Fig. 5).
(4) While pressing up on rear of console (Arrow 1

from headliner (Arrow 2 in Fig. 5). Move console for-
ward until the rear detaches from headliner and be-
comes free (Fig. 6).
(5) Disconnect wire harnesses from keyless entry
and compass/thermometer modules (Figs. 7 and 8).
(6) Reverse removal procedures to install. Be sure
to flex housing outward near the keyless entry re-
ceiver until the console snaps onto the rear mounting
bracket.

INSTALLATION
(1) Apply adhesive to the act surface on the sup-
port bracket according as follows:
²crush the vial in the plastic housing of the accel-
erator to saturate the felt applicator.
²remove the paper sleeve.
²apply a generous amount of accelerator to the con-
tact surface on the mirror support bracket.
²do not touch the support bracket contact surface
after the accelerator has been applied.
²
allow the accelerator to dry for at least five minutes.
and
(2) Apply accelerator to the support bracket con-
tact surface on the windshield glass. Allow the accel-
erator to dry for one minute.
(3) Install the mirror bracket on the windshield
glass as follows:
²apply one drop of adhesive at the center of support
bracket contact surface on windshield glass.
²immediately apply an even coat of adhesive to the
contact surface on the support bracket.
²align the support bracket with the position refer-
ence lines on the windshield glass, then
²press and hold the support bracket in-place for at
least one minute.
Ensure that the mirror support bracket is
correctly aligned because the adhesive will
cure rapidly.
(4) Allow the adhesive to cure for 8-10 minutes,
then remove any residue adhesive with an alcohol-
dampened cloth.
(5) Allow the adhesive to cure for an additional
8-10 minutes before installing the mirror base on the
support bracket.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE
WITHIN 24 HOURS OF WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION.
IT TAKES AT LEAST 24 HOURS FOR THE URE-
THANE ADHESIVE TO CURE. IF IT IS NOT CURED,
THE WINDSHIELD MAY NOT PERFORM PROPERLY
IN AN ACCIDENT.
URETHANE ADHESIVES ARE APPLIED AS A SYS-
TEM. USE GLASS CLEANER, GLASS PREP SOL-
VENT, GLASS PRIMER, AND PINCHWELD (FENCE)
PRIMER PROVIDED BY THE ADHESIVE MANUFAC-
TURER. IF NOT, STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY COULD
BE COMPROMISED.
BE SURE TO REFER TO THE URETHANE MANU-
FACTURER'S DIRECTIONS FOR CURING TIME
SPECIFICATIONS, AND DO NOT USE ADHESIVE AF-
TER ITS EXPIRATION DATE.
VAPORS THAT ARE EMITTED FROM THE URE-
THANE ADHESIVE OR PRIMER COULD CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY, USE THEM IN A WELL VENTI-
LATED AREA.
SKIN CONTACT WITH URETHANE ADHESIVE
SHOULD BE AVOIDED, OR PERSONAL INJURY MAY
RESULT.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND HAND PROTECTION
WHEN WORKING WITH GLASS.
CAUTION: Protect all painted or trimmed surfaces
from coming in contact with urethane or primers.
Be careful not to damage painted surfaces when
removing moldings or cutting urethane around
windshield.
It is difficult to salvage a windshield during the re-
moval operation. The windshield is part of the struc-
tural support for the roof. The urethane bonding
used to secure the windshield to the fence is difficult
to cut or clean from any surface. If the moldings are
set in urethane, it would also be unlikely they could
be salvaged. Before removing the windshield, check
the availability of the windshield and moldings from
the parts supplier.
