What

is

the

Ford®

Type

2

OEM

mirror

removal tool?

Pictured

here

is

the

special

tool

that

MUST

be

used

to

remove

the

Ford®

Type

2 OEM

mirror

in

order

to

prevent

creating

pressure

points

that

will

shatter

the

windshield.

Although

the

tool

can

be

machined

using

the

measurements

shown,

it

is

available

for

purchase

online

or

at

specialty

automotive

tool

suppliers.

l

IMPORTANT!

-

)

The

Ford

®

mirror

removal

tool

should

be

wrapped

in

electrical

tape

(particularly

at

its

curve)

to

protect

the

windshield

from

the

metal

surface

during

the

removal

process. Be sure

to

leave

at

least

3/8"

exposed

at

each

end

(for

insertion

into

the

mount).

Types

of

mounts ...

Below

are

the

three

types

of

mounts

you

will

see

once

the

OEM

mirror

is

removed,

as

well

as

the

adaptor

that

may

be

necessary in

order

to

proceed

with

installation.

BIGFOOT

MOUNT

An

adaptor

IS

NOT

required.

SMALLFOOT

MOUNT

An

adaptor

IS

required.

CAM

LOCK

MOUNT

An adaptor

IS

required.

Because

it

has

enough

surface area

to

support

the

weight,

the

OnStar

FMV

Mirror

can

simply

be

slid

onto

this

mount.

Because

of

its

limited

surface

area, a

smallfoot

mount

adaptor

IS

required

before

installing

the

OnStar

FMV

Mirror.

Because

of

its

unique

shape, a

cam

lock

mount

adaptor

IS

required

before

installing

the

OnStar

FMV

Mirror.
