Affixing
a
bigfoot
mount
...
IMPORTANT:
If
the
windshield
is
equipped
with
a
blackout
area
around
the
mirror
base
bracket,
care
must
be
used
not
to
cut
or
scrape
the
blackout.
1.
Determine
the
location
of
the
mirror
mounting
base
by
marking
the
outside/inside
of
the
windshield
with
a
wax
pencil
where
the
base
was
previously
located.
If
it
is
not
clear
where
the
base
was
located,
or
if
there
was
not
a
mount
previously
there,
use
the
following
steps
to
determine
where
the
base
should
be
installed:
1.1.
Using
a
measuring
tape,
measure
the
distance
between
the
windshield
pillars
at
the
windshield
blackout
line.
1.2
Using
a
marking
pencil,
halfway
between
the
windshield
pillars,
draw
a
centerline
(1)
on
the
windshield
from
the
roof
panel
to
the
windshield
base.
1.3
Draw
a
perpendicular
line
intersecting
the
centerline
(2)
at
that
location.
This
location
can
be
determined
by
holding
the
mirror
inside
the
vehicle
at
the
proper
location
.
NOTE:
The
bottom
center
of
the
bigfoot
mount
will
be
at
the
intersection
of
these
lines.

windshield
glass
thoroughly
with
a

Mask
off
the

using
blue

for
where
the
black
primer
will
go.
