    1.1. Using a measuring tape, measure the distance between the windscreen pillars from the base of the shade line.
    1.2. Using a marking pencil, halfway between the windscreen pillars, draw a centre line (1) on the windscreen from the roof panel to the windscreen base.
    1.3. Draw a perpendicular line intersecting the centre line (2) at that location.

    The top center of the mirror mounting base will be at the intersection of these lines.

  3. Scrape the inside windscreen glass thoroughly with a safety razor or utility knife in order to remove all old adhesive.
