mount
of
any
sort,
refer
to
the
section
on
the
back
of
this
page
detailing
how

cover
the
work
area
in
the

of
paper
towel/fabric/etc.
,
so
you
MUST
properly
protect

adapter.
SMALLFOOT
MOUNT
ADAPTOR
Slide
the
smallfoot
mount
adapter
DOWN
onto
the
smallfoot
mount
on
the
windshield
of
the
vehicle.
Ensure
the
adapter
is
seated
all
the
way
down
onto
the
mount.
IMPORTANT:
If
there
is a
1/8"
or
large
gap
between
the
adapter
and
the
windshield,
use
a
folded
piece
of
electrical
tape
to
wedge
between
the
windshield
and
the
top
center
of
the
adapter
(as
shown
below);
use
enough
layers
of
tape
to
ensure
a
snug
fit.
This
will
prevent
the
adhesive
from
flowing
into
this
area
so
there
is
enough
adhesive
to
fill
both
channels.
IMPORTANT:
Apply
electrical
tape
along
the
sides
and
top
of
the
mount
adaptor;
use
a
flat
edged
tool
to
make
a
tight
seal
between
the
tape
and
windshield
to
keep
adhesive
from
squeezing
out
when
injecting
the
adhesive
(reverse
angle
above
right).
CAM
LOCK
MOUNT
ADAPTOR
Slide
the
cam
lock
adapter
UP
into
the
cam
lock
mount
on
the
windshield
of
the
vehicle.
Ensure
the
adapter
is
seated
all
the
way
up
into
the
mount.
Tighten
the
set
screw
hand
tight
using
a
1/64"
Allen
wrench.
IMPORTANT:
If
the
adapter
starts
to
push
way
from
the
windshield,
it
is
too
tight.
IMPORTANT:
Apply
electrical
tape
along
the
sides
and
top
of
the
mount
adaptor;
use
a
flat
edged
tool
to
make
a
tight
seal
between
the
tape
and
windshield
(as
shown
below
right)
to
keep
adhesive
from
squeezing
out
when
injecting
the
adhesive.
3.
Apply
the
adhesive.
IMPORTANT:
The
adhesive
starts
to
set
within
5-10
minutes
of
application.
Cover
the
dashboard
to
avoid
damage
from
drips.
Using
ONLY
the
adhesive
provided
(3M-DP604NS),
insert
the
syringe
into
the
fill holes
at
the
top
of
the
adapter
and
SLOWLY
depress
the
plunger
until
approximately
1/2
of
adhesive remains in
the
syringe.
IMPORTANT:
The
cam
lock
mount
adaptor
uses
TWO syringes;
depress
each
plunger
until
approximately
1/4
of
adhesive remains in
the
syringe.
Make sure
both
channels
are
filled
entirely
by
using
half
of
the
adhesive in each
channel (small
foot
adapter)
or
3/4
of
the
adhesive
from
each
syringe
in each channel
(cam
lock
ada
pater).
You
must
make
sure
the
adapter
is
properly
masked
off;
if
there
is
too
much
squeeze
out
of
adhesive
you
will
not
have
enough
to
fill
both
channels.
After
10
minutes,
remove
the
tape
and
use a
razor
blade
to
remove
any
adhesive
that
may
have escaped.
IMPORTANT:
Though
the
original
mount
will
hold
the
weight
of
the
adapter
and
the
OnStar
FMV
Mirror
while
the
adhesive sets,
allow
at
least
20
minutes
for
the
adhesive
to
fully
cure
at
room
temperature
before
driving
the
vehicle.
