The Sonus SideVUE mirror snaps
together. Use one or both ball joint support arms, as necessary, to adjust
the mirror to any position. NOTE: the mirror comes packaged
with two rubber shims that allow the ball joints to remain snug. Don't
loose the shims.
-
Locate the best location for
the mirror. Recommended placement is as low on the windshield as possible,
not blocking forward vision. Ideally, the SideVUE Blind Spot Mirror should
be at the same level as the outside mirror, so both mirrors can be viewed with a
single glance.
-
When you have decided the best placement, mark the
location on the outside of the windshield with a marker. Don't try to
guess, as the adhesive is good for one application.
-
After marking the mounting
location on the outside of the windshield, clean the inside mounting location
with a quality glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol. The glass must be
absolutely clean and dry before attaching the mirror.
-
When mounting point is clean and dry, peel away the protective
foil on the adhesive pad and push the mounting base into place. Push
firmly for several seconds. NOTE: DO NOT install if
the ambient temperature is below 60 degrees. Heat car to temperature
before installation.
-
Once your Sonus SideVUE Blind Spot Mirror is
firmly mounted, adjust it for proper use.
-
The mirror is properly adjusted when you can see a car that
has just passed out of the view of the outside mirror in your SideVUE mirror.
You should be able to see the back of a passing car in your outside mirror as
the car comes clearly into view on your Sonus SideVUE Blind Spot Mirror.
There are many different kinds of "blind spot mirrors" available. After
using this device for more than seven years, and trying many others, I am
convinced that this is the best design. It offers the best adjustment
capability and the shape of the mirror itself allows for a very long field of
view.
